ok did it 3 times just to double check.... got over 0.100 clearance on both valves cut the clay down the center to look at the relation between valve and piston and it looks ok quite a bit of diffrence between them so not worried about the reliefs as for the head clearance looks to be right at 0.040 thats with 0.038 gaskets compressed so i might just to be safe order some 0.045 gaskets just for extra security...
i also just want to thank everybody that has helped me this is my first motor build learning as i go..and rumblefish you are right those markings are very hard to see but no excuse i should have double checked before i started freaking out.. but any way now im just really excited..
one more Q what is going to be a good gasket to run with the cast block and aluminum heads composite i would suppose but whats a good gasket to go with??
