Default Re: Piston to head clearancing

Has anyone here ever set the clearance close enough that they hit the heads? .045 seems real conservative on a low rpm engine with a close piston to wall clearance that keeps the pistons from rocking. I've seen .030 and less on OHV engines, and it seems that less is better, right?
