valve settings

[Marky]

Hi , Can someone please explain valve settings on a tiger t100r-eg If I want to set them as Haynes manual for my bike .002in inlet and 004 for exhaust or as recommended by a friend under the circumstances of my 1966 USA export re imported-''.010in would be better suited all around.''  Can I set them as this with 1 inlet closed (so set it)and  the other inlet which seems open and then do the exhaust with one closed and the other open ie do the closed one or do I have to have the inlet valve closed and then do the exhaust which is open and then the same on the other side. Confused (easily).I don't really understand the sequence when firing - do both inlets/exhaust open/close at the same time or are they slightly apart?(3rd question I'm afraid).Haynes seems to do the opposite from Lunmad videos unless my understanding is up the creek (as usual). Thanks
