That the same for aftermath cams also?

Personally I would stick to using the stock clearance spec unless otherwise stated by the camshaft manufacturer.


does it apply to 4e/5e?

The above valve clearance spec comes from the JDM workshop manual that covers both the 4E-FTE and 5E-FHE engines.
The USDM 5E-FE manual gives a valve clearance spec of:

Intake 0.15mm - 0.25mm
Exhaust 0.31mm - 0.41mm

Personally I'd go by the JDM spec, it seems a little more precise.
