To the best of my knowledge all A-series and A+ engines running "standard" rocker arms (and a standard cam) specify a valve gap of 0.012" (cold).

Well at the back of my 1969 - 1991 Mini Haynes manual (under 'Supplement, Revisions and Information on later models') it states under specifications (1982 and later models): -

Valve Clearances (inlet and exhaust)........................................ 0.33 to 0.38mm (0.013 to 0.015 in)

thanks for that will set them at 0.013 tonight see if it runs better!!
