if you were 180* off it wouldnt start
what was your rocker procedure ?
if you did the "3 position" thats ur problem
you need to do each rocker...in sequence
thats the only right way to do it IMO

.020 is a good start......so 5/16 by 18 will have 18 threads per inch so......break that down into turns and u can figure it out pretty easy....

But urs are pedestal mount so torque them down to 25ft/lbs and measure preload on the tappet at tdc or valve events.
Shim accordingly.
I'd do a compression test first.....
