curious about valve lash setting/check

Rusty, I let it run for a couple minutes. as soon as it fired it went right to 54 on the oil pressure gauge. I'll check my settings, and maybe go a little heavier (maybe 3/4 to a full turn?). wanted to keep it light, but it might have been that as soon as I could feel the slightest touch while cranking down, that's where I started my 3/8 turn. don't know if I was too light? or if that's possible. developed a bad leak at the thermostat housing, my fault, used an old tube. I'll check the settings again. please let me know if I should go the 3/4 to full turn. this will probably have to wait until tomorrow, as I pushed the car out of the garage to clean up the mess. gotta get that done and ask the neighbor to help me push her back in. let me know, and I will proceed with setting them again tonight or in the morning, got a mess out there.
