That would work fine
 the next time you adjust them let the engine cool down enough so you don't
burn yourself then set the rockers to 0 lash hot to keep the noise down.
if the rocker is too close to the retainer you can shim the rocker stand
with a thin washer this makes the push rod shorter and restores the rocker
geometry
