Actually the difference is not a huge concern. If you are checking the
clearance on a medium mileage engine the old fashoined way ,with "feeler
gages" you are probably about .002" open anyway.
The wear between the radius of the rocker tip and the worn valve stem
end will give a reading somewhat below the actual clearance since the
feeler cannot conform to the shape completely.
A check with a good dial indicator usually shows the feeler gage set
rockers to be off by .0015 > .003" anyway. In any event the .006"
intake/ .008 exhaust are the settings I have used for years when setting
up with feeler gages and has worked very well.
