Do they tighten – or loosen?

Okay, I have decided to get the opinion of the great engine minds on this board. Let’s say that you adjust the valves at room temperature in your garage. Let’s use 75 degrees and the car has set for a few days and is at the same temperature. So we set the valves at 18 thousandths. What happens to the clearances when the engine gets up to operating temperature? Do they get tighter or looser? I have heard both ways and I was wondering what the true scoop is. Thanks for your input…..
