I run my 34 master (and my 28) with the clearance two thou wider, an old mechanic told me this stops the valves from burning and although tappets rattle a little I've now done over 50,000 miles without a valve grind, and use standard seats

I always set mine as per factory - with the engine completely warmed up. Never burnt a valve and folks always mwntion as to how quiet my engines are.
