Its common for folks to set the new clearance a bit loose because wear on the valves decreases the clearance. I personally think that isn't necessary and its just insurance against neglect.

So I'd say set it a little loose, not at the end of the spec, if you know you're not going to be 100% on top of the next adjustment. Otherwise, set it in the middle.
