0? Isn't that why they have hydraulic lifters? So you don't have to check the lash? Sorry, no answers, just questions.

Valve lash for an EVO is zero.

You can't run solid lifters in one, unless the cylinders have been changed out for trick cast iron ones. The nature of design, the top-end will "grow" up to .010" taller as the heat expands everything and hydraulic lifters are necessary to compensate.

If you're asking how to adjust the valves, and assuming your engine has adjustable pushtubes, well that's another paragraph....
