Valve Check Cost!!!

Local dealer just worked out the price = £360 + shims! Holy shit. My local pdq dyno centre said to take it for a long fast run down motorway, and when you turn off if there is valve trouble engine will cut out so feeling a bit better. Be glad when it warms up and can do it myself and hope no adjustment is required!!

Can anybody tell me what the clearances should be on a 1WG please!
Thanks
Mark

Multiply mm by 1000 to get microns and divide by 25.4 to convert to thou.
(Or divide the figure in mm by 0.0254)

4.33 - 7.87 intake.
8.27 - 11.81 exhaust.
