Valve Clearance

The clearest cut way, is to do what YellowRose said. It's empirical, no math required, just a little set-up. But I see you don't have all your parts yet...

You subtract from .116
Hypothetical example: subtract these measurements. Valve to deck .080"
Steel shim head gasket .018
Piston down hole .015
=.113 or -.003 P/V
So, IF your measurements are like the hypothetical examples I used, you'll have a problem.

BUT, IF you order these pistons (a bargin at $389, OR a set like them) all your worries will disappear. KB162-40
These have .264" worth of valve relief Int/Exh and you'll have enough clearance for more cam than you'll want. AND, you can take RustyRatRod's 2 cents to the bank !

What's the compression height of these pistons? I need 1.92"
