would that be the same kinda stuff you can use to clay the pistons? or is that to measure something else?

its to measure main and rod bearing clearances, BUT this is a prime example of why you among MANY others on this forum should not be giving advice. Your telling guys what are the "best" heads and have no clue whatsoever what plastigage is, which is the most basic tool for engine building. If you do not have direct hands on experience then you really should not be giving advice. This place cracks me up.
