Piston to valve clearence hy

Hi, I want to check piston to valve clearence in my 383 hyd roller.
Do I have to by solid lifters to do it?
Also i`m running eldebrock perf rpm heads without egr ( no problems with law here).Shall I get bad idle without egr?
Thanks

i never used solids for it. i use a set of soft springs and a dial indicator instead of the clay method, no head gasket.
