It will be easier with light weight checking springs, but it's certainly not a requirement. This is how I do mine:



If you decide to place the dial indicater on the rocker arm, you need something to prevent the hydraulic lifter from collapsing. Find a washer that will fit on top of the lifter, and then set the push rod on top of that. That will make it a solid connection.
