My '62 Vette has solids and the procedure is to set them with the engine hot and idling. An old valve cover with the top cut off helps with the oil running onto the exhaust manifolds. Recommended interval is 5,000 miles. The lash on my 327 - 340HP is .008 (hot) on the intake and .018 (hot) on the exhaust.
The sound effects from the solid lifters is definitely part of the experience.
