One of the ways is to use modelling clay. Put alittle bit of oil on the
surface, put it in the combustion chambers. rotate the engine around a couple
of times, take the haed off and measure. I use no head gasket, so you have
about .010 of additional clearance.

I'm an amateur going through the reassembly of my
1275. This week I'm timing the cam, and Kent says:
After having timed in the camshaft check that there is
no valve to piston contact. The minimum clearance
between the piston and the valve should be 1.5mm. In
multi-cam engines ensure there is no valve to valve
contact.
How does one check this?
Thanks,
