You can find a complete 1HZ engine manual here

The valve clearance is not readily adjustable. To change the settings you'd have to change the 12 shims. Never heard of anyone going to that much trouble.

I wasn't sure whether you were referring to the factory turbo 1HD-T or a 1Hz with aftermarket turbo. But in any case, they have the same clearances:
Inlet 0.15-0.25mm
Exhaust 0.35-0.45mm
I have 3 manuals and a sticker under the bonnet of my daughter's 1Hz which all give the same specs.
The 1HD=FT 24 valve factory TD is totally different with adjustable tappets and slightly different clearances.
There a link to 1Hz clearances and an Excel spreadsheet
HERE.

If it is a 1HZ with after market TURBO set them to the open side of the specs.
STD Intake 1.5 - 2.5 set between 2.0 and 2.5 for turbo
STD Exhaust. 3.5 - 4.5 set between 4.0 and 4.5 for turbo
Factory 1HDT is the same specs I believe but
check first
DO NOT GO OUT SIDE THE SPECS

It usually better to set them on the higher side anyway so it takes longer for them to go out of spec again.
