That's the method I was using. I like it other than killing myself turning the engine over by hand.

All the others on that side are still firm. I had a tick before all of this that I thought was coming from the messed up sparkplug threads on #8. That was one of the main reasons for pulling the heads. Maybe it was this lifter all along?

I think that I am going to lay the valve cover back on, fire it up for a few minutes and then check that rocker again to see if it still does it.

One of these will make turning the motor over really easy.

You can just "bump" the motor over. I use a similar one all the time when I have to adjust valves in the car. Besides it's not good practice to turn the engine over using the balancer bolt... espc with the plugs in.

The rest sounds like a good plan. Give it a little run time and see if it's getting oil. If it's getting oil but still noisey - then with the engine running play with the pre load a little... if you can't get it to quiet down... you know you got to replace it.
