Use a used head gasket if you are not ready to torque down a head, providing the used gasket is the same compressed height as the new ones you will use.

That's a fine video Bentley, but I can't use that method with OEM ball rockers. I'm also using NOS OEM non-adjustible pushrods.

With OEM rockers and stock length pushrods, you can't adjust it anyway (unless you change valve height or cam base circle). Seems like you might just have to let it fall where it falls. A little off center is not detrimental if the sweep is minimal.
