I have an interesting predicament, I want to check my valve to piston clearance on my build, I have the pedestal mount roller rockers, heads have been shaved .025, and block zero decked, with flat top single relief pistons. Stock rods. My heads are the late 73 small valve 4bbl heads. (2.04-1.70) I need to figure out pushrod length and valve geometry, but before I do that, I want to check valve to piston clearance, how do I do this without the right pushrods? Does anybody know for sure if a zero decked block, and .025 shaved heads will still clear piston with .513in lift, and .519ex and 1:73 ratio rockers? 351c. Oh, and .041 head gasket crush thickness. I don't have cam card in front of me, but I think these numbers are correct. I know the cam is the XE262h from comp.
