I seem to remember reading something like that somewhere... My Delta cam specifies a .008 intake clearance, which I assume has to do with the lobe ramp design- but am not sure. It definitely makes the valve train a little noisier. McGurk was running .015 for intake and .016 for exhaust lash in that Soup That Chevy article.
