Your valve lash(clearance) should be at 0.007"(cold;intake)
and 0.008" (cold, exhaust)

DO NOT put valve lash at 0. When they get hot and expand you will run the risk of seizing a cam, which will lead to engine failure and a costly rebuild.

Degree them with .000-.001" lash. Set lash back to Skunk2's recommendations (probably .007-.008" intake / .008-.009" exhaust) in order to run the engine though or you'll run into some problems, as mentioned.
