the best way ive found to check compression

[IDIoit]

honestly im not a fan of compression tests.
sure they will tell you a cylinders pressure.
but a leak down test is my preferd method.
you can listen to the exhaust, intake, oil pan and coolant to find if youre leaking somewhere.

however.
preping a engine for install in my ranchero,
i went to adjust the valves, and the kids nerf ammo were put in the injector bores to keep it sealed it.

i think its done its job, and confirmed i got good compression

Have you ever run those rockers before or is this engine the first time with them?

I remember seeing at least one other engine build where you were running them.

Is there any benefit other than being roller and adjustable? Are they the same ratio as stock? I know it's a pretty hefty chunk of change.
