5M-E Rocker Clearances Needed

I am looking for the cold and hot rocker clearances for a 5ME if anyone can list them. And before anyone asks, yes I did 'search' and came up blank. I also downloaded Supra manual hosted in Tech Docs but it keeps flagging an error when I try to unzip it.

This for an MX73. Could anyone confirm they are the same. Also, I would appreciate the cold settings too as I probably won't be trying to remove a rocker cover on a hot engine.
Thanks.

Did you get a chance to check the manual for me? I'd like to adjust these over the weekend.
Thanks.

Sorry Grant, but the Chilton's book I have is for 83-88 Cressida's.
I never realised this, but the book doesn't have any 5M-E stuff in it (83-84 Cressida in US runs the 5MGE)
Even though half the drawings in the book are drawings of a 5M-E, all the data is 5MGE related.
Sorry dude.
Looks like you'll have to do it hot, or maybe head to the local library.

Thanks anyway. I ended up getting a guy in Toyota to copy the parts of the workshop manual for me.

Well thats a bugger!
Were the settings the same as listed by STR8 2.8?
Maybe it's camshaft wear but these settings have always been a bit noisy on my engine (and other 5me's that I know of).
