It's looking nice cvaria!! Keep up the good work because I may want to fallow in your footsteps next year. Looks like your doing an awesome job, and I expect a video when you get that beast breathing fire.
Yes... I think I recall learning (years ago) that the correct procedure was as follows:
-Find TDC on compression stroke (both lifters at their lowest point)
-Adjust the pushrod so that it can just be rotated by hand, but with resistance
-Lengthen the pushrod about 1/8th of an inch
I think that sounds about the same as what you're saying?
My comment really wasn't about the process, it was about finding how to determine how many "flats" you needed without knowing what brand they were (since you made the comment below of wondering if 24 flats was correct)
Target is .125-.140" preload
1.0" ÷ TPI = distance per revolution ÷ 6 = distance per "flat"
Target Preload ÷ distance per "flat" =number of "flats"
Disregard if you already knew this

F86, You might know this, but forget about the instructions or brand (other than for curiosity). Get your TPI and calc for .140" preload
Agree 1000% on the kram lox. Part of the problem is the L shaped handle they give you gets in the way of rotating the way you need to. A straight handle would work so much better.
