To answer your question its simple I would do what's needed to get the clearances where I like things.
However as I wrote checking for clearance is what most guys do to determine things clear and nothing more. If there's clearance then the heads are just bolted.
Here's a couple of questions for you Tubman. That 276 inch flathead engine you wrote about which you were never satisfied with the power it produced did you change the cam in that engine to something other than stock? If the answer is yes did you check the cam timing?
