Christopher,
>What is the recommended valve clearance (cold) for initial startup?
Rootes recommends .016 exhaust and .014 intake.
If you are carefull and check your lash often, particularly while the engine
is new, you can easily get away with .014 and .012.
This will quiet the valve gear a tad, and give you a little more cam.

Sure, I am feeling much better now.
