Brent, that IS a bit of an unusual situation you find yourself in...and it brings up a follow-on question: is it a hydraulic cam and lifters or is it a mechanical cam with hydraulic lifters?
If it is a hydraulic cam, I would be a little concerned about possible damage to the lifters from running at full extension for awhile (which brings up the question of the adjusters...did you have to screw them all the way out to make room for the lifter extension when you adjusted them?). Obviously, the "right" thing to do would be to do is pull the lifters and inspect, but because of the objective of the lash, I think you could do a normal hydraulic adjustment and run it for awhile...if there is damage it would show up in lifter noise or adjustment issues.
If it is a mechanical cam with hydraulic lifters...? Seems I've heard you can put hydraulics on a mechanical, but not the other way around...anyone know the answer to this one?
I guess I would want to first find out if it is a hydraulic or mechanical cam. Do you have the cam card?
