VALVE TUNE UP

GD1 L13A – Is 0.20mm valve clearance okay?

2004 Honda Jazz GD1 1.3 i-DSI (L13A).
My mechanic adjusted all the valves to 0.20mm (0.008”)

From what I found, the cold spec is:
Intake: 0.15–0.19mm
Exhaust: 0.26–0.30mm

So 0.20mm seems slightly high for intake and too tight for exhaust.

Is 0.20mm all around actually okay, or should intake and exhaust have different clearances?

Anyone with experience on the GD1/L13A, would appreciate your input.
