When they are out of spec's, 0.10-0.15mm intake, 0.20-0.25 mm exhaust

Clean the oil screen underneath the tranny, there's a rectangular lid under the engine, just remove and clean.
You might consider a valve change. I have seen/heard several '04 FSe that had the valve plates separated from the shafts. Makes a real mess of the top end. I don't know if the valves on -04 are bad, or if they have broken because of burnt valves due to no valve clearance. The Suz DRZ400 valves fit right in.
