What are minimum valve margins for Corvairs? Exh and Int?

Water cooled engines are Int .015 or about a 1/32nd and exh twice that or .030 and ~ 1/16th.  Seems too thin for our uses.

VW's are as follows:  

Intake: 0.80-1.50 mm (.031-.059 in.)

Exhaust: 1.00-1.70 mm (.040-.067 in.)

Looked in shop manuals, Hot to Hot Rod, Hot keep her Alive, Corvair Basics, Classic Corvair... could have missed it. (Tech manual is AWOL).
