Exhaust valve maximum clearance spec is 0.011in and the intake valve maximum clearance spec is 0.009. I set them all to those specs. I'll check again tomorrow. I'm wondering how tightly to torque these aluminum parts. It says 13ft/lbs. I tightened to hand tightness only, without using the ratchet handle.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
