.595= .085-.036= .039-.005= .034
so you have .034 of valve clearance before you cut. on a safe motor, you want .110 of clearance. soooo.....
.110 - .034= .076 needs to be cut. its very easy and should only take you an evening if everything is pulled and your using the Isky cutters
good luck!

that would be .66 needing to be cut out..... aka- do .070 to make it easy. you have .300 meat in the pistons ( i think.... not 100% sure on that as i've not seen it with my own eyes)
