Default RE: Setting valves

It's interesting that on our model engines the intake and exhaust are set the same. Automotive exhaust valves need more clearance usually because the exhaust runs so much hotter than the intake on gasoline. What about the gasoline Saito's, still set the same?

At .002 they have a hair more duration. You definitely don't want to get zero clearance somehow and burn a valve though.
