Valve guide clearance I use.

DeLuxe
.003 intake
.0035 exhaust
With a moderate break in after and a nice rotating tappet will seem to settle in at about .004

KJ both at .003

.21 is .007 and a bit too much. Sorry my tools (and me) are still stuck in thou's. I've seen worse and run decent and not blow too much oil.

Hope that helps
