I have done this many times. It is easier with the lower fenders on my 52 than it is on my friends 57. Turn the idle down, as low as it will run. If you get one too tight it will miss. You will know right away. Mechanical lifters are easy. Hydraulics can pump down with low oil pressure and make you nuts. Static works as well. There is always more than one way to skin the cat as it were. I tend to set them loose static on a clod newly disturbed engine. I don't worry if it clatters for a bit. When it is warm, and tuned. Then I like to adjust to make it quiet as I can and still have clearance. Nothing will burn an ex-valve faster than too tight. To get it "by the book" Hotrod has it about right.
