Default Re: Lifter recommendation?

I've got Crow 5300H lifters which are supposed to be a replacement for the original lifters.
To tension down the rocker bolts (30Nm), what position does the crankshaft have to be at. Thinking TDC would not be right as the pushrods would not be at the lowest point of the cam lobes, but maybe this does not matter as the lifters are hydraulic. Do the exhaust and inlet have to be tensioned at different positions. Thought they had to turned down about 3/4 of a turn after tension reached. But maybe I'm thinking if single rockers.
Also thinking of doing the springs as well ( got a set of Crow replacement). Anyone recommend a good spring compressor. Found one in US (LMT) but not sure which one I need. Sold here at Outlaw Speed Shop and are around the $380 mark
Have not replaced lifters before, that's why the questions.
