lifter settings on 4gj2 bighorn

HELP AGAIN

Hi guys I got my bighorn running finally as some may know if they seen my previous posts, but it had a rattle that increased with speed so I pulled the manifold cover off.
easiest one I EVER took off, 3 x 10mm bolts very cool.
Anyway I found that there were a few real loose ones but before I do my usual trick and dive on in, previous experience has taught me to find out the correct procedure.
Looks simple loosen the 12mm nuts and tighten the adjustor using the flathead and then tighten the nuts back up.

can anyone tell me to leave it alone or go for it and I'm on right track?

SORRY I am talking about valve clearances, I have found a couple of different settings.
one is 0.4mm starting with 1,2,3and 6 then rotate crank 360 degrees then do same on 4,5,7,and 8
and another says 0.65mm.

Does anyone know what is correct for a 4jg2

I'm pretty sure that it is 0.40mm cold.

I'm also pretty sure the manual said it was .40mm

Ive got mine set to that. No catastrophic ending so far
