I'm pretty sure if they are WORKING hyd lifters you would have noticed major valve problems by now. With the .022 clearance and a hyd lifter functioning correctly the valve train noise would have been obvious! It would have clattered something fierce!

,,,,and thats NOT a goofy question, it's a great question. Now HERES a goofy one.

1. How much torque on the head bolts for a 427 side oiler?
2. Is the torque increased if the compression is over 12 to 1?

Bonus question:
Any of you guys RE-TORQUE your heads after running that new engine for a while?
