5.9 Magnum pushrod measuring questions

I thought about that. It looks like all the plungers are right up against the retaining clip at the top of the lifter. Hope that means they're at the top of their travel. I don't think I put enough pressure on them to push them down any.
Correct, the plunger when at the top is touching the retaining clip. Sounds like you done did it correct. But remember you’re dealing with very small measurements that are hard to see by eye.
