I think most people will tell you .08 and .18
10/20 is stock but I'd go a little tighter.
That's what I did.

dont go too tight, you run the risk of the valve not closing completely, which will burn it. if it cannot transfer heat to the head, it will burn.

Alright, I'll be the **** whacko. I did .008 and .018; except for #6.

Since it typically runs hotter, I put it at the factory rec. .010 and .020.
