In every GM shop manual I have seen they say to go one full turn after zero lash; which is determined by trying to lift the pushrod up and down not spinning it. Some high performance tuners use 3/4 turn but I used 1 full turn when I did mine.

Mark, can you explain the math and how that works out to be at/near .083" after one full turn.more like 0.083"....
