I follow the same procedure, except that I generally go about a full turn on customer engines. This is because the FE adjuster is directly on the pushrod, compared to the fulcrum and ratio affecting other engines. One full turn on an FE is +/- .040 in preload - a pretty good place to be with most lifters.
