I just pulled the head off, I was really hoping I didn't have to do that. The pistons look fine, no nicks or anything. Same with the valves. The cylinder walls look like they are brand new.

I just went out and tried to move the valve and I cant, but the springs are still on it. Im pretty sure my neighbor has a spring compressor, so Ill take the springs off on that one and see. The valves appear to be seated flat though.

With 2 and 3 pistons at TDC, there is no difference from a straight edge on the top of the block to the top of the highest point of the pistons.
