I think you'll be just fine but for s&g's get some putty on a piston and torque a head down and see what you got!

ya, I find it so much easier than dealing with clay on the piston then pulling the heads on, off, on, off trying to get a good mark then having to pull the clay off the cylinder cleanly.
Before doing it this way I just about lost my **** and threw the cylinder head through the windshield lol

Ok, I just did both the clay on piston method and the "gum method" and got roughly the same results for both, 0.072" for the intake and 0.167" for the exhaust.

I dunno what the hell I was doing before but I used a dial indicator this time with a checker spring and got significantly more clearance, which made more sense as my valves were sunk in with the valve job.
