I have only used that copper spray for head gaskets.As mentioned above, a kind of rolling motion is what I have used, and get the push rods up in the head past the rockers. Once you get the push rods to fall into the tunnel with the correct long/short rod orientation - you’re in the home stretch. I haven’t had a rod that didn’t fall into place at the lifter, not to say it can’t happen. Loosen up your adjusters on the rockers as much as you can and use a pick to move the rods under the rockers. Then tighten them down a bit to keep the rod in place.
