Stock rockers install

I'm putting back my stock rockers in my car. Is it the same process as the aftermarkets? 1/4 - 1/2 pass zero lash?

I'm sure some people use 1 full turn past zero lash but it really isn't needed. The idea is to take up the clearance and preload the lifter so the plunger is somewhere near the center of it's travel. That's pretty close to a half turn...

If the lifter looked good on install I wouldn't worry too much about miles. Unless damaged, those stockers seem to last forever...
