I would go a bit wider on exhaust. For heavy duty operation the specs are
usually 10 and 20 thousandths, intake and exhaust. If you don't have
hardened ex valves or seats there may be some erosion from unleadded
gasoline, so more clearance will counter that erosion. try .016" on ex. and
pay attention if you have to increase clearance each time you adjust valves.
You are approching time for a valve job.
