the free spin method worked good for the non adjustable but you have hydraulic
also depends upon what you want to accomplish
the best method is to go base circle and let stand 15>30 minutes but you can always check by slacking the adjustment and check for ease of collapse.
if you want hydraulic, at base circle and lifter plunger up, adjust till there is resistance with the p/r and then add .050 of collapse, you can use .030. reason: well you want to assure that the plunger never contacts the retainer clip.
if you want to go a solid like p/r you do the same above on the collapse but then base circle and 6>8 flats up. if you want to know tappet clearance, use the TPI for the thread count and multiply times rocker ratio.
i run lifter spacers and run just enough clearance to quite the valve train. the only disadvantage is you have to check adjustment regularly.

Did you even read what you typed? Makes no sense.HTF do you adjust a solid push rod? One of the reasons for push rod depth into the lifter is to compensate for cylinder growth when the engine heats up and expands And what does "tappet clearance" have to do with push rod adjustment?
