How tight to set solid lifters

I found ,with alu heads and cast block, the gap needed to be opened up that much more. I did the 004 to 006 tighter and when the engine was warm I had no lash. I had a leaking valve cover gasket and had to pull the cover. Checked the lash....nothing.
After switch to alloy: Yup, I had a couple black/wet plugs and oily cylinder. Reset valves 005 looser and problem solved
