Put some kind of putty on the piston replace said head , rotate the motor slowly by hand and mic the putty for the gap? Thats what my little pea brain comes up with atleast. If thats right what kind of putty is used. Would he beable to use stock pushrods is he used 1.6 rr's and stock cam? I've Never tried anything like this. When i put new heads on its always been on to a built motor. What's the safe range on piston to valve clarence? Would a thicker head gasket help , and if so wich head gasket? He's pretty much desided to go ahead and run those heads (providing they will clear safely) a street heat intake and new exhaust till his motor gets here. Would those mods need a tune or should he be ok with that?</p></blockquote><p></p>
