I know it's probably more work than it's worth but if all else fails you could always mill a bit from the tops of the pistons.

Cool. If your cam has more duration/overlap you'll probably be in better shape. Carry on.

Also found a valve guide I need to replace. But the combustion chamber is reshaped and polished. Cleaned up the intake and exaust ports some too, they where ported way out, but the floor of the ports wasnt realy worked. So I got a straighter shot out of em, and tuliped the bowl some.

No. The green credits in my area have all been used..... and I can tell what red is usualy, green isnt a problem, floresent colors become a problem when they are next to each other.... hard to explain... blue and purple are hard.
