Default ? about pushrod length

I'm putting in an ASA cam and already have Crane quick lift rockers. Check my math and see if I'm thinking right. Stock rockers+ASA= 7.425 Crane rockers+stock cam= 7.250. So wouldn't I need a PR .025 longer than the 7.250 to be back around stock geometry and lifter pre-load? I have a PR checker, but the rockers make it hard to use it so I figured math don't lie, why not calculate it out. I've found 7.300 PR's, would these work and if not where could I find 7.275's?

7.250, you have adjustable rockers now, you can make your preload whatever you want, but shoot for the 2 full turns that crane asks for. you won't have any issues. i know people who run asa cams with stock length pushrods, and they are fine. the crane rockers are very particular with there pushrod length, to achieve perfect geometry and preload.

Makes sense. When I first adjusted them on the stock cam, 2 turns made a ticking noise so I went with 1 1/2 as suggested by Crane after I called 'em about the noise. So now if I go 2 turns it should take up the slack of the smaller base circle. I could also mark the valve stem and run it through a few cycles to check geometry and wear pattern,right? thanks 4 the info.
