    ive never personally checked my 4age valve clearances (done it on a few other pushrod engines), but when i got my 4age head skimmed and pressure tested they replaced a few valves and checked all the clearances for me. apparnetly they changed a few shims....

    i think it would be worth giving an engine builder a call and seeing what they think.
