Default valve adjustment and clearence?

i have a 2nd gen b16 motor with a 5 angle valve job, spoon 2 layer headgasket with ctr cams.i adjusted my valves a while back and left them a bit loose.yes my valves tick a bit but no biggie.but i know that means a bit of comprssion loss=less horsepower.what gauge should i use to adjust the clearence?should i use the same size gauge and clearence as the 2001 itr specs?

Thats in MM by the way. Use an angled feeler gauge, and go from the center, where the spark plug holes are, not from the outside, to get an accurate reading.
