I meant valve-piston clearance. I set the clearance between the "elephant foot" and the the valve to zero. Then rotated the crankshaft to the point where the inlet (or outlet) valve is at the closest point to the piston. Now tightened up the screw on the rocker until the valve hits the piston. One complete turn (360°) means 1mm valve movement. I was able to turn the screw for the inlet valve more than 720° (means 2,00mm + clearance between valve and piston) and the one from the outlet valve just about 550° (ca. 1,60mm).
