In bentley they say that you can do it while everything is still installed in the car. Make sure the car is warm completely. Work quickly to remove the valve cover. For each set of lifters, turn the engine until they are at the TDC (cam lobes pointing up). With a dull non-metal object push down on each lifter and if it moves more than 0.1mm (according to bentley), it needs to be replaced. (use just normal hand pressure while pushing down).

If you can get oil to squirt out, the lifter's bad. NB: does not apply to professional thumb wrestlers.
