That space is called "valve lash". It is a predefined gap set on a cold engine when the rocker arm is on the base circle of the cam.

Do you mean valve "lash?" (The slack between the closed valve and the cam base circle.) That is adjusted the same way as on any other engine. Remove the valve cover and locate the adjustment screws on the rocker arms. Turn the crankshaft to position the rocker on the base circle and check the gap with a feeler gauge.
