best way of setting roller lifters ??

The instructions I got with my hughes hydro roller lifters was to move the push rod up and down until all slack was taken out.
Tighten 1/2 turn.
I used to roll the pushrod w/ my fingers till the slack was out and then went 1/2 to 3/4 turns more. believe it or not, I went to a solid roller and it was quieter !
