Thanks for the input. Instead of pulling off the springs, I made a tool out of oak and copper to arc the rocker and compress the spring at TDC. Found I have more than enough clearance. The previous owner who mocked up the engine told me that the Speedpro pistons had been cut out for valve clearance and he was right. Resting easier now. The engine is going back into the car this weekend!
