You still can set them if you have the time.
Insert any feeler gauge into the gap, and tighten it down so that
feeler gauge is "correct" ignoring the cup.
Then insert a 0.010 feeler (or whatever your engine lash setting
is) on top of the first feeler gauge (combined thickness), and count how
many degrees you have to turn the adjusting screw until the gap
is perfect. That degree amount is then equal to the number of turns
to open 0.010.
Then tighten the valve up to zero clearance, then back it off
that many turns, and it will be 0.010.
It's probably not the most exact method either, but probably
a better alternative than buying new rockers or stripping them
off for machining. Valve lash precision isn't THAT critical.
