A question for the HEAD DOCTOR

when you buy a set of aftermarket heads they are set up w/ studs and guideplates. you will no longer need shims as shims are for bolt down rockers only. i hope this helps.

I found the receipt from the engine builder. He listed the pistons as 1157 .040. I did a search for 1157 pistons and this is what came up.

As you can see there are some cuts in the pistons. Would it be safe then to assume that one could use a 2.02 valve or 1.7 rocker if needed?
