too much valve clearance?

during my stock 72 2.4 E rebuild:
deck clearance 1.5mm
set cam timing as per specs.
the CLOSEST my valves came to the piston was 5 mm.
i know too close (intake 1.5mm, exhaust 2mm) is bad,
but can you have too much clearance?
does 5mm sound reasonable for a stock E cam with stock E pistons?
