"If it's a C, .022" minimum, .025" would be fine. Any other Volvo grind use at least .018" I know with the K cam that you can run them as wide as .025" because they are still on the clearance ramps there."
?
If the adjustments are being made correctly, the cam follower on the valve being adjusted, should be at mid point of the cam base circle, give or take a degree or two. Adding to the recommended valve clearance will only reduce the valve lift/performance. However, if you know you have valve recession issues, adding a couple of thou will give you a little more time before the next adjustment. If your engine is ticking over very quietly, beware, it might be trying to tell you something....................
