Factory Specs for Valve Clearances
No I haven't gotten the manuals yet . . . . kind of on hold until another job comes along.
Since I have some time, I was wondering what the factory recommend valve clearances are. I was thinking about doing up a procedure for checking the valves as this seems to be a big question from a lot of people.
Give me the clearances, and I'll do some checking and give y'all a procedure, with pictures on doing it yourself.

Inlet valves: .10 mm to .19 mm
Exhaust valves: .15mm to .24mm
Also, check here for the procedure and some photos:

Note that I do not recommend doing this procedure without the service manual. Torque values are listed for almost every bolt and there is other invaluable information in there.
