Default valve flash

i got my buddy to do my valve flash. but he did my exhaust 0.07. adn my intake .08. i then was on the web and fell upon the specs and it was

exhaust .07-.08
intake .06-.07

should i be worried and get him to do it again? car seems to be pulling harder adn running okay.

It's 'valve lash'...

If they aren't noisy I don't see a problem. Too tight would be a worse situation.

just have your friend tighten up the intake side. it doesnt take long since he'll only be tightening the intake side a bit. you wont do any harm to your engine with the intake at .008, but I ,myself would just put it to the CORRECT specs. VALVE FLASH!

Yeah I was curious about this too since I recently had a valve lash adjustment and we ghetto rigged it since I didn't have the jam nut tool. I'm going to readjust it in the morning so hopefully it should be fine.
