Advantage,
With a 7/16-20 stud @ the fulcrum point there is .050” drop per full turn. A 5/8 turn results in a .031” drop at the fulcrum with a resultant drop of .049” at the lifter with a 1.7 rocker ratio. I have seen, in most instances that preload figure will yield audible noise.
One full turn yields a .050” drop at the fulcrum with a resulting drop of .079” at the lifter. A three quarter to one full turn will place the plunger at the proper height to purge the chamber and eliminate any audible mechanical sound. This figure is marginally past the half way point of available lifter travel.
These figures are for iron/aluminum, and will be ~ ¼ turn less with iron/iron combinations.
