Because
1) they advertised online, they are a sponsor online, and the deal was originally negotiated and concluded online. Why should I have to call now? IS this not what the PM function is for? Is it really too much to expect a vendor to read a couple of paragraphs of text and write a short response? I've run an online business for 10 years and I do it every day.
2) I've been sick and have almost no phone voice for the last week or so, and it doesnt seem to be getting any better in spite of a trip to the doctor and some meds.
3) I don't have a lot of spare time during business hours to fool around on the phone.

After buying the torquerv2 cam package, I had you all hold my pushrods until I could check length. I did so, then I asked Jon about which length pushrod to use, since 7.425 and 7.400 seemed like either would work based on my measurements. He responded:
A few days later I wrote back. I sent this message twice on the above mentioned dates, when Jon's profile showed he was "online", and never got a response to either.
At this point it would seem the consensus thinking is to just run 7.400 and be done with it. So unless your professional opinion is otherwise I guess I'd like for you to go ahead and send out my pushrods that were part of my cam package.

I set my checker pushrod to 7.4 length. I turned the rocker bolt by hand until I could no longer move the rocker up/down (tink/tink/tink) off of the valve stem. Then I torqued the rocker bolt from that point. I got 1.4 turns.
I repeated the procedure with the checker set to 7.425, and got 1.8 turns.
I repeated the procedure with the checker set to 7.375, and got 0.8 turns.
Just for good measure. I shortened the checker and put it into the intake side so it was loose, and torqued the rocker down. Then I lengthened the checker by hand while in the engine, until again I could no longer move the rocker up and down on the valve stem. I took it out and counted the turns and it worked out to 7.325 at zero lash with no preload. So that would seem to indicate that .075 preload would give me 7.4", or 0.100 preload would give me 7.425.
What do you think?

From all of your measurements given here, I'd say 7.400" would do the trick!
