Default is my method for measuring pr length ok

sorry i know this topic is beat to death on this forum, however i have searched and read many threads and even books i am simply posting to make sure i understand this method of checking. first of all i am using the comp cams length checker. my setup constists of torquer v3 cam stg. 2.5 ls6 heads milled .020, ls7 lifters stock trunion upgraded rockers.
1. align timing dots at 12 o' clock so cam is on base lobes for cylinder number 1
2. insert pushrod lenth checker and torque rocker arm to 22lb-ft
3. adjust pushrod length checker to 0 lash
4. add desired pre load to final measurement on pr checker

this is what i understand after searching. somebody please let me know if this is correct. thanks

you dont have to go to full torque...doesnt hurt anything but hand tight is fine. I just installed the exact same setup and needed 7.35's

Theoretically that's correct, I just don't see it as feasible as I am never able to get my hands or sweaty fingers on the PR and adjust it with all that crap installed, haha.

it sounds mean as hell, I just started it today. Idles ok but surges and stalls when I try to go anywhere. Hope I can make to my tune.
