Nissan Repair: Valve adjustment, nissan micra, valve clearances

Question
What are the valve clearances for Nissan Micra Dot
1993 manual transmission vehicle. Are these adjustments performed when hot or cold.  

Answer
Suranga,

I do not have the manual for yours.  But, it should be around .013 for the valves.  There should be a sticker on the hood or valve cover that shows the requirement.  Also, when I find that there is no information on a particular car I run the engine to get it hot and take the valve cover off and check the lash.  I set the valve lash to the tightest one I find and make them all the same.  DO this for the exhaust and then the intake.  Remember that they are close but most of the time the intake is tighter since the valve does not get as hot.
