My parts man from Penrith Subaru (going back to the 70's) told me otherwise. My N/A EA81 hydraulic lifter engine has the 3 piece pushrods and no lock tabs on the adjusters. My EA81T has the one piece pushrod and lock tabs on the rockers.

My pushrods have end caps that fall off and I can adjust the rockers
Steptoe what do you think about my valve clearance? What do you reccomend?

do what I did ....thought about it......the valves are only going to ride if there is no clearance and less than no clearance (tight) - correct ? Allowing for possibility that it may get hotter than normal op temp (gaps may get smaller or does metal expand when hot ? or expand enough to close the gaps ?) so, prepared for quick rocker adjusting I got engine to op temp, whipped the cover off and set them on one head to 4 thou each, cover back on, back to op temp, whipped other side off, did same . 14 years good enough trials ?
Last pair of heads just fitted up to B3 took numbers off tag off my 20/60 cam - 6 & 8 thou cold. Yet to drive it, still, noise amps in tin rockers

Ahh too easy, so no damage if too tight. Just going to have to work out what an appropriate size is now.
