I used +6 Intake and -6 Exhaust when claying.

Use the most aggressive settings that you foresee using.

I do it several times until I work my way to the minimum clearance for each side. After a couple of adjustments and measurements, you get a good idea of how far you can go, so sometimes I'll skip a couple of small increments to cut to the chase. The EX side should hit the minimum clearance quicker than the IN side.

That's how it was on a motor with PCT pistons and JUN 3 cams. The EX cam couldn't go more than -2 to -3 cam degrees. The IN side was at +4 cam degrees and it still had lots of room to go another couple of degrees.

Sounds normal to me.

yea thats sounds about right.. you want more clearence on the ex side since the pistons are chasing the exhaust valves during the cycle.. and they are usually the first ones to come into contact with pistons..
