I use the spin the pushrod between thumb and forefinger technique. Cam lobe is on the flat, spin the pushrod between fingers while tightening the rocker arm until you feel the resistance. Then anywhere from 1/4 to 3/4 turn more. 1/4 turn will give more rpms and higher horse, 3/4 will give less rpms and more torque...so they say.
