Default valve questions

Ok guys I finally adjusted the valves on my honda d16z6 today. I called zex and they told me to put the intake between .005-.007 and the exhaust between .008-.010 with the street performance cam. I ended up putting them right between at .006 and .009, and now when I start the car you can still hear the valves ticking. Correct me if I am wrong but whenever the engine is on you are going to be able to here your valves no matter what, or did I not adjust the valves correctly. The ticking is not loud it is just there

yes the ticking is always there
when its loud (like mine) they need to be adjusted so it sounds quieter (like yours)

what would happen if you drove an extended amount of time with the valves out of adjustment
