Assuming standard rockers set inlets to 12" thou & exhausts to 14" thou. Full lift for kent 286 is set at 106 degrees ATDC

Plug gaps are 25 thou i think..

I'd set tappets at 16 thou with such a cam and sparks at 30 thou for leccy ignition, advancing the cam at 104° seems to avoid the problem with chain stretch..now i dont know you have adj sprockets or you'll be using woodruff keys, but if using woodruffs, advance it a couple of deg more, so as long as the chain straches the timing stays perfect.

Do plug gaps really change the insurance premium you pay?

Depends if chain was replaced or not, doesn't say.
