can i use the same method to adjust roller rockers (zero lash method. car non started) for a chevy 350's stock rockers? thank you guys

Well, from what I have learned from the people on this site you can provided you are talking about hydrualic lifters. Tighten down till there is no slop in the pushrod and then a 1/4 - 1/2 turn, if I remember correctly. Welcome to the forum and I'm sure you will find a lot of helpful info here as these people know what they are talking about.

i would think you could

Yep, just make sure the lifter is on the heel of the cam lobe. Turn the bolt in the center of the harmonic damper with a bar and socket until the valve is at full lift, then turn the damper one full turn (360 degrees). That will put the lifter on the heel of the lobe. Start at #1 cylinder (closest to radiator, driver's side). After you have done #1 intake, turn the damper 1/4 turn (90 degrees) (clockwise looking at the motor from the front of the car) and adjust #8 (passenger side next to firewall) intake, then another 1/4 turn and adjust #4 (passenger side, second from front) intake, then another 1/4 turn and adjust #3 (driver's side, second from front) intake and so on through the firing order 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-8. Then go back and find full lift on #1 exhaust, one full turn, adjust it, then 1/4 turn and adjust #8, and so on and so on.
