Default Re: Need some head clearance advice

If it were mine for the same use, I'd prolly just flycut the tight head to match an average of the other side valve clearance wise.
It could be tighter and 0.050" over pistons on both sides, to be ideal, in my opinion. But it's your engine and your choice. Depends what you really want.
