Default claying engine - what clearances?

yes i searched and yes i read the c-speed how to

but i was wondering if all the clearances should be about .035? whats the range?

also how do i go about measuring the valve to valve clearance, just use a feeler gauge?

and one last ? does anyone know how much clearance is sufficient for oil pick up to pan bottom?

At least 0.040/0.060 int/ex on P-V.

V-V should be atleast 0.035
