If you milled the head, and did not adjust the valves after installing the head, the lash will be taken up by the amount the head was milled times 1.4 (the aprox rocker ratio).
You must roughly adjust the valves prior to running the engine to ensure that the valves really close, starting with the valves a little loose wont hurt for the 15 minutes or so it takes to bring the head up to operating temp.
