valve adjustment - sherman lifters

I highly reccomend the EOIC method and turning the engine over with a wrench, not the starter.
Greg, you will probably find a zero lash, once the set screw is set, will yield .002" which is perfect in my book. I figured that out one day and couldn't believe the amount of time it saved. I had ARP adjusters and all 16 came out perfect. It was far more accurate (after testing with a go-no go method) than trying to get the feel with a .002" feeler gauge.
