those are high up! not really, just check your piston to valve clearrance with some clay if you have a 0.100 clearance on the intake and 0.080 on the exhaust you are good to go!
hey do you know how much cc do your combustion chamber has, and how many ccs do your piston have? And what cam are you using,just to check your Compression tos ee where you stand on octane...

look into the piston clearance first, but you could retard your cam 4 degrees that will help you..

sorry guys it was not 0.060 but 0.006 and i talk to tim about that and said the head gasket is 0.039 -0.006 over the deck=0.033 clearence. Tim said to not be closer than 0.020. He also said that should raise my compression a little bit. I hope i'm good with that.

Had the same issue with my 400, new 10.5:1 cr flat tops from TMI, were about 0.005-0.006 over the deck, my heads are 2V open chamber 78 cc.
I took a standard head gasket 0.039".
The engine has done it´s first 50 miles and no problems so far ...
Watch for the right fuel because of the little extra cr depending on your cam.

Just finish torking the heads. New stainless valves, springs, sceals, retainers and locks on aussie heads. I turn the crank 2 turn, so far so good. I'm in the process of installing screw in stud, a conversion kit from crane cams with roller rocker 1.7:1.
