Piston to Valve clearance with performance cam

Jeremy,

Will rock the piston and check for protrusion tonight.

Zach, Thanks for the offer, i wonder if flycutting the pistons would cause problems with overheating pistons, what I mean is should I have machine shop to remove all of the Coating off of the piston before flycutting, or should I have them leave what is on there and just machine valve reliefs in the pistons leaving a portion still coated?
 
Jeremy,

Checked piston protrusion again when I got home. Rocked piston to the intake side of the block on all cylinders. I checked both sides while keeping it rocked to the intake side. Below are the results:

Cyl#1 .015 & .035 (avg .025)
Cyl#2 .020 & .038 (avg .029)
Cyl#3 .018 & .034 (avg .026)
Cyl#4 .020 & .035 (avg .027 & a half)
Cyl#5 .025 & .042 (avg .033 & a half)
Cyl#6 .020 & .036 (avg .028)

Would you all think I still need to take rods on cylinder # 2 & 5 back to machine shop?
