Well, maybe. If you run them too tight, the vavles will not seat properly
when the engine is hot - you'll then burn your valves.

In your case, the clearances are relatively generous so it shouldn't
be an issue, but in general, if you follow this approach, make sure
you do a compression test when the engine is *hot* to ensure you are
still getting good sealing.
