Cold, adjust to .006 intake, .010 exhaust.
Hot, adjust to .008 intake, .010 exhaust.

You may also have worn rocker arm adjusting studs, and/or the end of the valve stem may have wear from excessive valve clearance.

Check to make sure that the rocker arms are centered on the exhaust valve stems of the #2, and #3 cylinders. I have seen the arms wear on the side and run off center.
