Measure them with the motor cold and be aware that when you tighten the locknut, you may change the setting. Sometimes you have to set them a bit looser and when you tighten the locknut they end up being at .003.

You also have to be at TDC on the firing stroke.....

Hopefully you knew that already though :D
