Adjusting Solid Lifters

5754If you're not kickin' up dust, you're collectin' it!

Well, when I bought my cat (almost 3 months ago - wow how time flies), I was told that when the prior owner re-built the engine, he discovered that it was a 351C H.O. - so it has solid lifters like the '71 351 BOSS engine.
Anyway, there's a bit of a ticking/pinging in the engine so it's probably time for the lifters to be adjusted.
Anyone out there have any experience with this ... I have a mechanic that I trust with my daily driver, but I'm not so sure about handing over the Pantera without any guidance.
I've found that the lash is to be set at 0.022 cold, or 0.025 hot - Anything else I should be telling him before I hand over the keys? (the nice thing is that he doesn't mind if I watch over his shoulder so I can learn a thing or two).
