did i do this correct?
This my first time measuring for pushrod length and wondering if i did it right? The first thing i did was put #1 cylinder at tdc, then i got my pushrod tool and set it up to 7.400 base . Then turned crank till intake lifter on #1 cylinder was at the base of the lobe i installed pushrod and watched as it bottomed and no longer moved. I then put the rocker on and set zero lash, set the torqe wrench to 22ft lbs and started to count the turns till it clicked 22lbs. I ended up with intake 1.65 turns and exhaust 1.75 does that sound correct?

You can tell when a cylinder is coming up on TDC firing because the intake lifter will be closing while you're turning the crank. If the exhaust lifter is moving, you're coming up to TDC exhaust stroke and need to go another revolution of the crank.

You're opening the door to a big discussion. Poltergeist went through this a couple days ago in another thread. He is right about what he stated but you have to understand some geometry to understand the concept. ! full turn at the bolt is .047" but because of the rocker ratio it ends up being around .075" at the pushrod.
