It occurs that a minimum amount of engine rotation before the tappets are loaded might be beneficial, to avoid scraping assembly lube off the cam before first start-up (?).  If measuring pushrod protrusion could ID the compression stroke, then the lash could be set with minimal rotation after the rockers/shafts are finally tightened down. Anyone have a method to share? I DO have the procedure already for setting lash that involves the least rotation, but I think that requires compression TDC ID (?).
