Verifying valves are set properly and I can't adjust one of the exhaust valves past zero lash without tremendous effort. The associated pushrod doesn't budge. None of the others are that way. Do I need to pull the lifter or is there a chance I can run it at zero lash for a few minutes and try adjusting it again without hurting anything?

There is a known bleed problem with some of the Febi lifters. I have a bunch of bent valves on my Vanagon to prove it. One style has the wire clip, the other has a snap ring. I forget which design is bad, and I can't get a look at them until first of the week.
