You can order one of these handy checkers from Summit or Jegs for a few bucks. Just get the correct size for your stud diameter.

Use a stock pushrod and then install the tool and measure the gap on either the pushrod side (need longer rod) or at the valve side (will need shorter rods), then just add/subtract from the length of the rod you are using.
