360 LA installing Promaxx Aluminum heads

Just called, he said to measure pushrod length with 2 threads showing, 3 at most. Zero lash with hyd roller lifters.

I'm going to reset mine to 1/2 thread showing and measure. Thought being with 1/2 showing and 1/2 turn pre-load, I should land close to right in the middle at 1 thread showing after the adjustment.

If you start with 2 or 3 threads already out you'll be at least 1/2 thread beyond what HS recommends as max(2) after making the pre-load adjustment right?
