Default CHECK MY MATH PLEASE!! lifters

ok guys got my pushrod length checker and just want to be sure my math is correct. if so I am WAY off now!!

9 turns = .050 x 9 = .45
+
pushrod checker = 6.8
+
preload .075

= 7.325

I currently am running mti stage 2e milled .10, stock gaskets. ls7 lifters and a custom speed demon cam 230/236 592 602 on a 114 +4 dont know the base circle.

My current pushrods are 7.425!! lol think my lifters are bottoming out!! luckily it hasnt been driven yet!

Best way it so measure the checker with calipers. I now that thing says one turn equals .050 but you cant be to sure about that. Do a swipe test to be certain.
