You can do this free handed but it isn't as accurate as the machine. It is real important to do this so the rocker slides on the valve stem instead of trying to pull the stem sideways every time the valve opens.

If you're extra anal, make a small jig to hold the rocker. | | |

THIS IS IN FUN . | | |
