It will be the same as for the 1200 on any other Toyota, i.e. Pulsar etc. If you have 10 thou on the intake and 13 thou on the exhaust set while hot, you are withing range.
We used to say a ticking tappet is a happy tappet, so don't try to eliminate all noise from the tappets, just set them so they don't kill all conversation in the cab.

go on the net or contact your local service dealer, but for most diesels that do not hydraulic tappets the setting standard is .012" inlet hot and .014" exhaust hot. Make sure that the setting is required as tappet noise can be from work rocker bushes and shafts

You didn't mention what year so if the vehicle is early then standard settings are .010"inlet hot and .012" exhaust hot. If late model it will have hydraulic tappets. which are self adjusting

tappets cannot be tight and noisy at the same time . Check the rocker and rocker shaft for wear in the shaft and rocker bushes.

When setting tappets, it has to be born inind that the valve stem wears an indentation into the face of the rocker. This prevents a really accurate tappet adjustment, so the customer is right again. If you do not posess a tappet setting dial gauge, a normal engineers dial gauge will do just as well. The procedure is the same as using your feeler gauge except that you set the dial gauge up on the cylinder head with the pointer resting on the head of the rocker. Press down fairly firmly on the rocker valve end and zero the gauge. Next lift up on the rocker and read off the clearance, from the gauge, Use a magnetic base to support your gauge and repeat the pocedure for each valve pair.
