If its the same engine as the Xantia its .15 for the inllets and .30 for the exhaust cold. Its not a job for the faint hearted though as it entails removing the camshaft, measuring the shims as they are not marked then working out and obtaining the correct thickness replacement shims.

Unless it has low compression I would be inclined to leave it alone.
