Some have had to pull the head later to deal with the piston hitting the head so better safe than sorry. A little modeling clay on the piston helps to see what is happening and don't forget the gasket. It is nice to have an old one around for clearance checking.
This is the problem Bob is referring to:   both photos from/by Rick Prentice Hope this helps. "The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop." Edwin Conklin, biologist

Didn't save me any, till I figured out the embossed arrow and "front" were causing the interference, which by the way, was cured with the gasket
