Not a mechanic just a driver you'll have to excuse me perhaps outta my league here, but I can pull the manual tomorrow at the shop on the 3406B, but think your on the right track.

Intake 0.015
Exhaust 0.030
Slave Lash 0.060 ..... pre 1991 0.080 on all 3406 B except the 400HP @ 0.067

Cyl # 1 @ TDC set intake valves on 1,2,4 set Exhaust valves on 1,3,5 set Lash on 1,3,5
Cyl # 6 @ TDC set intake on 3,5,6 set exhaust on 2,4,6 set Lash on 2,4,6
