Not to worry chrome Piston to valve clearance is easily checked. You are 100% correct in thinking a setup wont work . Better to be safe than sorry. Even if dun many times before a fool would just assume something is set in stone. Never assume a setup works just because others have dun it. The dynamic stacking can play havoc on that. Even though the above setup will clear. But never not check it. Cheap insurance.
Here is an engine that was not checked. When modifying an engine exact measurements are necessary. The clearance may be there but knowing the exact numbers is a must.
This guy just ASSUMED ALSO AND TOOK SOMEONES WORD FOR IT. BINGO WRONG!!!
