IMO, many people get FAR to anal (OCD) about setting valve lash.

What should alleviate the OCD the most is in having more information - specifically, Know the tolerance on the recommended gap. (the 911 is +/- .002" -that's quite a lot) Also keep in mind, the tolerance, on the cam profile is somewhere around a tenth (or less) of the gap tolerance. (read: you can set them any where off-lobe)
