24 TPI pushrod............3.3 turns.
32 TPI pushrod............4.5 turns.
Loads the lifter to .140" which results in quiet operation even at warm temps.

Yes, lifters all have the same .200" travel; the pushrod TPI will determine the number of turns required to set preload at .140". Your pushrods, IIRC, at 32TPI.

EDIT: Bob is right; the 875-1 lifters are travel limited.

850 comp cams have 200 thou travel, 875's have substantially less due to the thicker top clip, might want to check this out before you try to load them 140 thou.
