Just a quick follow-up, I did a quick re-check using the pedestal bolt turns to 22ft/lb method and using a 7.350 length on the pushrod checker (my 7.300 measure length at zero lash plus 0.050 preload) I threaded the pedestal bolt down by hand until there was no play in the pushrod in its rocker seat and then got just past 3/4 turn out of the pedestal bolt to 22ft/lbs

I just want to get some clarification on what a full turn of the pedestal bolt gets me since one statement says it is half a turn and another one full turn. I guess since I got just a hair past 3/4 turn it isn't too critical as I am "in the range" so to speak.
