Vader - Valve clearance

Does anyone know the valve clearances for the vader 125cc, are they the same as the grom? I'm at about 100 miles so I plan to do a valve check/oil change today. Also do we have a list of bolts to hit with loctite? I know I should probably just replace the motor mount bolts and swing arm bolts, anything else to consider?

For valve clearance, taken from T Bolt USAs website..
"Adjust your tappets to .003" intake and .005" exhaust"

Angry

GRRR! I removed the lower valve cover with ease. The top cover has bolts that are way over torqued. There isn't enough room to get a 6-point ratchet in and I'm too afraid to continue with a standard wrench in fear of stripping. Vice grips have provided no relief either. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I'm about to finish my soft break-in of 500mi. My plan after is to do the carb swap. Hopefully when I get the air box off I can get at them with a impact gun.
