Page 33 of my 1935 F12 instruction book says to set valve clearance at .016. It says nothing about them being set hot.
To check the valve timing first set the valve clearance as above and then with number one piston at TDC rotate the engine just to the point all play is taken up in the intake valve lever.

If its not, your out of time and I would look at the front crank gear, I have found a couple that ate up the keyway and were loose enough to affect the valve timing.
