I don't spin the pushrod. To me, that's too vague. I move the pushrod up and down between the rocker and lifter until all the movement is taken up. I call that zero. Then, I adjust the rocker adjuster 1/2 to 1 turn down.
Not that it matters from me but I agree. The pushrod can still be spun even when the lifter is preloaded, so just take your time and do like rusty said.
