oil pump install ?

hey guys i was watching horse power TV today and they said you need to check clearance on the internal gears with a feeler gauge when installing a new oil pump on the ls1/ls6.they said it could cause damage to the pump? I have never heard this before

.. anyone have any input on this??

I'm sure the service manual also says to disconnect the battery before changing a tire
