Default Piston hitting heads!

Finally got the last piston in, even though the EAB heads were NOS, I was still worried about them hitting the egge pistons. Sure enough, they hit.

I foil balled the valves and cylinder with the head torque down with a gasket and it wouldn’t turn over. Basically no clearance with a gasket which means I would have to remove about .05 of material, seems like a lot!

Thoughts on an 8BA head having enough clearance?
