I'm guessing the PTV clearance wasn't an issue? How exactly did you check it without taking the heads back off, or did I read that wrong?
This is the part that has me worried a little still. Dad has a Snap On bore scope, and he told me to run it down through the spark plug hole and watch as he rolled the engine over. The valves didn't come anywhere close to the piston but I'm still worried since this probably isn't the best procedure to do this. He seems confident in it so we'll just see how it turns out. He's built a ton of engines (35 year automotive career) so I should probably just take his word on things hahaI'm guessing the PTV clearance wasn't an issue?
