for the engines non turbo before 1986 it should be 0.70 for the pump.
the gap between tappet and camshaft should be on the intake 0.007 inch and 0.015 inch on exhaust 0.20 mm and 0.40 mm

for setting the pump you must disconnect before the high idle system (cold start device)
his cable must be fully loose

a lack of power is often the consequence of a non correctly adjusted pump
the overheating too because of the bad combustion.

Did you adjust the timing belt properly ?
have you got the specific plate for the camshaft ?

how is your cooling system ?
clean radiator inside and outside ?
does the thermostat open at 87°C

some overheating 5 miles after a big heat load could be some heat delay by radiation
moreover the engine temp gauge on 200 series are too much regulated and will show you you're overheating later that's it should be
so you started to overheat before you saw it
