1.8 valve clearances

[Greenguy]

Haynes says, .006 for intake and .008 for exhaust. Pelican tech says .006 for both exhaust and intake. On another board it says .006 for intake and .008 for sodium filled exhaust valves. Which is the correct valve clearances for the 1.8?

[Dave at Pelican Parts]

Haynes is wrong. Use 0.006" for both. The stock 1.8 does not have sodium-filled valves, so you do not use the 0.008" clearance.

Thanks Dave, thought that was the case, but there was enough conflicting information that I just wanted to make sure.
