Currently building an ALH with 2.0 BHW pistons.. Measuring everything up with a compressed 3 hole BHW gasket I only have .568mm (.022") clearance from head to piston.. A 3 hole ALH gasket would get me another .1mm (.004") but the pistons are too big to fit through an ALH gasket.. I have about the same clearance from valve to piston after removing .040" from the valve pockets.. I'm using solid lifters and clay to measure everything up..
Do y'all think .022" is enough or should I take some material off the piston tops? I know I have to take out a little more from the valve reliefs, just wondering what everyone's opinions are about the clearance from piston to head..
