I can reply only regarding the D4BH engine, according to the Hyundai Galloper Shop Manual of 2001.
Please make sure those are the correct numbers for you engine as well as it might be a slightly different engine.

D4BH (2.5 Turbo Diesel):
-----------------------------------------
Cold engine -
Both Intake & Exhaust: 0.15mm (0.0059in)

Hot engine -
Both Intake & Exhaust: 0.25mm (0.0098in)

-----------------------------------------

Tightening Torque for the locknut on each valve is 12 to 18 Nm
Tightening Torque for the rocker cover bolts is 5 to 7 Nm


Good Luck, I hope it helps you.
