Just fill the cylinder with clay, youll see exactly how much room you have everywhere.
You can't do that. The valve won't compress 1 or 2"'s of clay without bending a valve or pushrod.

Why not just go buy the right tool for the job? Dial indacators come in handy

Am I missing something? How can you do the clay test if there's no valve train to push the valves into the clay?????
That's what I was saying. He didn't know that you had to have the valvetrain set up in order to do the clay test. He just set the heads on and spun the engine thinking that would work.
