setting the correct valve lash

UlliMember

Hello everyone

I have started to do some sheet metal Restauration on my Pantera and I also took the engine and gearbox out. I have the Comp cams Xtreme Energy™ 218/224 Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam for Ford 351C in my engine and I don't know if I need to put any preload onto my hydraulic lifters, because the instruction on the cam says valve adjustment .000

does that mean the valve train needs to be on all the valves at zero preload?

I am trying to find the right answer but it is not easy maybe someone can help a picture of the head with valve cover off is here as well.

all is running fine just that the valve train is making a little soft ticking noise when in idle, I have read in a different article that this is normal with the Magnum valve rockers from comp cams but maybe someone can enlighten me a little.
