The clearances are designed in the cam profile, there's a "take-up ramp" that lifts the lifter gently until all the lash is gone. I set solids by finding TDC by split overlap, then setting the valves on the cylinder straight across the dist. cap. That way I'm sure of TDC,compression stroke.
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
