Pushrod length

[ace1]

When checking pushrod length for hydraulic flat lifters is lifted preload added to length? If a 7.9 is a little long using a solid lifter will the length be closer to right when the hydraulic is in or no

Figure the length with all the slack out of the system... no more no less. Different brands of lifters can have different seat heights inside the lifter... hard for me to answer that last part.
