.010" to .060" should work with any brand of lifter.

In this case, "0" does not apply to preload, but to the "zero lash" in a running engine.

Just the opposite. With solids, a specified gap (opposite of preload) is left in the valvetrain.

Lack of preload would cause the valvetrain to be noisy. Nothing more, nothing less.
