Spin the pushrod. When it gets resistance, no slack up or down... turn 1/4 turn.

Not when it doesn't spin, just when there is no more play up or down. Usually once you hit that point you can still turn them but there is no more play. As you gradually tighten the nut, keep spinning them and lift up and down at the same time. You will feel it when the slack is out. Then 1/4 more turn.

Thumbs up

but, the book says zero lash then one and a half turns on the nut which sounded to tight to me
