Ah crap. I used to know this off the top of my head.

It should be on a sticker under the hood anyway.

Do you guys adjust it on the tight side or no?

I always have done .007 intake and .009 exhaust and made sure they were pretty tight...

Any advantages to adjusting them to .009 intake and .011 exhaust?

Just wondering...

I did mine this past weekend and set them at .008 and .010, but it was on the tight side.

Are you looking for the maximum allowable side to side play for valves in the valve guides or what?

yes, found them:

Intake Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance
Standard/New: 0.04-0.10mm
Service Limit: 0.16

Exhaust valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance
Standard/New: 0.10-0.16
Service Limit: .022mm

This is with the valve extended 10mm out from the seat.
