Not sure how a dial indicator helps unless you know the required valve stem height dimension. You'd need to zero the dial indicator on the valve cover rail then swing it around and measure the height of the valve stem tip. The problem isn't the relative height of the stems, it's the absolute height relative to the rest of the valvetrain due to the non-adjustable rockers (and the need to maintain proper geometry even with adjustable rockers). The advantage of the gauge is that it's idiot proof.
