Paul, I do them all the same way. You are very correct in that .002-.003" isn't a big deal with hydraulic roller preload, but if you're working on an all-aluminum engine with short travel lifters, every thou counts. A lot of these lifters take about .015" of preload, and an all-aluminum engine will let lash grow/lose preload by about that much.
