Adjusting valves on a 06

After putting on a oringed head, a 2nd gen headgasket, i think i should adjust the valves,

What are the valve lash specs for a 2006 CR with say around 750 HP?

I lost the sticker on the valve cover...

Any tips are appreciated too.

I THINK on my 05 its .020 and .010, but I would need to double check, and while I would also THINK the 06 is the same I am not 100%.

Yes the 2nd gen gasket is usually water jetted for the size of the oring.
