I do not get on with the comb.

My method for those pesky pushy rods: open all the adjusters fully. Hold the rocker arms up, (cups held down) with lacky bands. Wind the end of a length of soft gardening wire around each push rod. As you lower the box, manouvre the wires to get the rods in the cups. A bright torch helps. When the rods are all located pull the wires out then tighten down the box. As the adjusters are fully out, the pushrods can drop out of the cup, so cut the elastic bands and pull them out after you've set the valve gaps.
