All of your valves are within spec for a cold engine.

Do not do a check on a warm engine if you don't need to. BTW your clearances would be tighter when engine is warm. Heated parts expand w/ heat right?

You may want to get down to the tighter side on intakes but try not to get below .012 on exhaust because they really tend to expand more than intakes when engine is up to full temp.

.011 would be good on intakes and .012 on exhaust.

BMP now offers shim pliers! Seem nice to me.
