Default valve clearance for offenhauser heads

What's the valve clearance needed between valve and head in a flathead ?

Lay the heads on top turn the motor over without any head gaskets. If it goes without hitting anything youll be ok when the gaskets are there. Hopefully your using an aftermarket gasket.
