Good points all, but doesn't that make head thickness a better indicator? If I put a new cam and new solid lifters in (max valve height) and then put a skinny head on it, there is real danger of disaster. On the other hand, a skinny head on a used engine would probably not be a worry. Hydraulic lifter engines would of course between these two extremes. It would also make a difference in buying a head. I would think a skinny one would be worth less because of these potential problems.
