WHat is the proper technique for determining the lenght of new pushrods to be used with a motor?

I usedstand i will need the adjustable pushrod tool, but how exactly do you use it?

I also understand the ide of "painting" the tip of the valve with paint or a marker and measuring the amount of travel the roller rolls on the tip. Do i simply adjust the pushrod until i find a lenght that keeps the roller within specs?
