As Julian suggested, it's simple to make a tool...   Just use a tubing cutter to cut one of the old pushrods in half, tap the inside of each half and use a short length of threaded rod with a couple of small jam nuts.  They can rotate the engine sot he pushrod moves through it's entire stroke and adjust the pushrod length until they find the optimum length to properly center/seat atop the valve tip.
