First time cam install questions

Not to dig up an old thread... but if you use a solid lifter, aren't you then suppose to add another .025 to the length of the pushrod for pre-load?

say if you found 0 lash at 7.50 ultimately for preload reasons you'd want a pushrod that was 7.525?

Or am I way off here?

hydraulic and solid lifter plungers are located at different heights in the lifters...the solids are always lower and therefore take a longer pushrod...
