Solid lifter lash specs are usually tied to the particular cam. Call the cam manufacturer and tell them what cam you have.

yea really depends on the cam design and the valvetrain being used to control the valve......ball park you could probably start in the .020 area and play from there......i know people that run them out at .025 and ive run mine as tight as .007
