The recommended clearances are 080/.100 for the intake/exhaust. You seem to be quite a bit below that. If you were around .070/.090, you could prob just run a bit thicker gasket and be fine, but I doubt the clearances you measured (if accurate via the clay method) are safe gaps.

was re checking everything last night and actually swapped stock pushrods in and the clearanc was 63 thousadnths and 65 thousandths. Measured the 7.425 pushrods i had and they measured 7.445. Im thinking the extra lil 20 thousandths longer pushrod is whats throwing it off so bad.
