Someone will grab them for you mate - no doubt. I don't have that manual (tb42e for me), but others who do or who know the specs will grab them for you I'm sure.

Hey mate have you had a look at GU manual on our site?

I'm pretty sure it has the tappet specs in there....

Just realised you don't have 25 posts yet....Go welcome some new members quickly and download the manual when you get to 25 posts mate.

According to the Manual that I have it is .35mm or .14Inch for both Inlet and Oultlet Tappets

Since found this

Adjusting Intake and Exhaust Valve Clearance
Adjustment should be made while engine is warm but not
running.
1. Set No. 1 cylinder in top dead center on its compression stroke,
and adjust valve clearance 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 8 and 9 .
2. Set No. 6 cylinder at top dead center on its compression stroke,
and adjust valve clearance 3 , 6 , 7 , 10 , 11 and 12 .
Valve clearance:
Intake 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 and 11
0.30 - 0.40 mm (0.012 - 0.016 in)
Exhaust 2 ,4 , 6 , 8 , 10 and 12
0.30 - 0.40 mm (0.012 - 0.016 in)
Adjusting screw lock nuts:
: 15 - 20 N×m (1.5 - 2.0 kg-m, 11 - 14 ft-lb)
I Tighten lock nuts, by fixing the adjusting screws using a minus
driver.
