They were tight all round, measuring less than 2.5 thou on all valves except cylinder 1 exhaust 2, which was a loose 6.
I set them to 6 on exhaust and 5 on inlet. The 9mm deep socket as recommended in the wiki was invaluable. I also took off the radiator and coils as an assembly which made getting to the exhaust side easy.
It started right up, and I was able to take it off choke earlier. I took it for a quick ride and impressions are good - it feels more tractable at lower revs.
