Hey Erik, let me get your thoughts on this.

I have read in the Crane cams catalog that if you soak your hyd. lifters in oil, the way a lot of people do, they will act like a solid lifter while trying to adj. them,thus not getting the preload you should. That's why I do the extra half turn.I'm not saying this is the only way it should be done, just my theory on it,

Keep in mind I only have a few builds under my belt.

I would appreciate if you or anyone else would get back to me on this!
