What should I do? Valve lash issue.

Ok, so I bought a 390 a while back that was pretty well built, and I was told it had solid lifters (he had run for a couple thousand miles before I bought it) and I have adjusted lash accordingly for several thousand miles (the first time I adjusted the lash was about .022 on each so the guy I bought it from thought it was solid lifter as well). Changed to a different manifold this week and noticed that I have hydraulic lifters (correct me if I am wrong, but no solid lifter would have oil holes on the side of the lifter and c clips on top, correct?)....

So, I have been running with lash and it appears that I shouldn't have. At this point, what would you suggest? Looks like I might be picking up a little more lift and duration in my cam with a little valve adjustment. Thoughts?
This thread, so far...
