you want 100 thou or 1/10" so divide the TPI by 10 = 3.2 turns OR or 3.5 turns in practical terms

FWIW, we use .140"-.150" lifter pre-load.

I just did my friends last weekend.  I counted the turns it took to go from zero lash to lifter fully collapsed and backed the pushrods off half of that number.  Takes a while to collapse all the lifters, but I've never had a problem adjusting them this way.
BTW, DO NOT turn the motor while any of the lifters are collapsed.
