Subject:      Re: Hydro lifters (# of turn)

a hydraulic lifter may take up the extra .006" and more when engine is running due to being pumped all the way up with oil, or perhaps, as pointed out by boston bob, due to increased air pressure inside an air bound lifter as the engine heats up.

for the .006" to be taken up using solid lifters, however, that means, as the engine heats up, the crankcase, cylinder block and heads together expand less than the push rods alone, which is very unlikely.
