> What's special about the 3/4 to full turn that you listed?

That's what Crane and Gaterman recommend.  It effectively reduces the
amount of travel the lifter plunger has.  If you bottom the plunger out,
it becomes a solid lifter.  Going to 3/4 of a turn gives it a little travel
but not too much if it starts to pump up.

> Are you advocating more than a full turn of preload for a street engine?

No.
