Intake 0.2mm exhaust 0.3mm hot.

 

Two ways of doing it, and they lead to different results. Get a cylinder on firing TDC and set both tappets, or use the rule of nine where you get one valve on max open and set the corresponding (9-minus-that-valve) which will be on max gap. So get valve 3 on max open and set valve 6.

 

Rule of 9 sets them on the heel of the cam, the maximum gap.

 

TDC sets them slightly off on both valves, so the gap is smaller than the max. Set them one way and check them the other.
