While my head is at the machine shop, I used another head I have to check valve to piston clearance. I wanted to ensure that with the dome on my pistons and the cams I'm using that I don't start my engine and immediately bend a bunch of valves. So I clayed my pistons, bolted everything together (in time of course), and the valves didn't even touch the clay. The valve reliefs on the pistons are more than adequate, even with the increase lift and duration of my cams. So it looks like everything is set for go.
I did find there was one other modification needed in order for the K24 crank to work. The keyway which locks the pulley and sprocket to the crank needed to be shortened. I updated the original post.

Make sure you consider .006 or so stretch when it comes to piston to valve clearance. Lookin good I am starting my budget stroker after the holidays.

sounds like a very interesting build. I'd watch the stroker kit though, they always make it diffuclt for the engine to idle correctly. however ive been wondering why you would buy such parts as the rods, used. I'd think you'd just end up throwin one through your block.
