Post Setting valves.
Im setting the valves on my 35 briggs. The manual says .004-.006. That seems really tight compared to most automotive engines that are set around .02. I know setting valves too tight can lead to burnt valves which is common with these motors. Also wondering if valves should be set with engine warm or cold.

Cold and .004-.006 is correct.
