MG TD TF 1500 - Valve settings TF 1500

My rebuilt XPEG engine runs beautifully, but as it's very quiet, I'm concerned about the valve lash might be a little too close. I have not touched it or re set anything. It has a new Crane cam that is supposed to be a regular grind. I have no contact with the rebuilder as the engine had 10 hours run in time on it when I bought the car. What is the proper clearance settings? Are they different for the intake and the exhaust? PJ

I think .018 intake and .020 exhaust for the Crane. Been a while so better make sure.

I guess they failed to include this Crane data sheet. Here's the one from my TF 1500 rebuild. My valves make plenty of noise, maybe too much, but it's OK.
