Don, I do something similar. I put modeling putty on the high edge of each valve and lay head down on a used (already compressed) head gasket, crank the engine a few times and (assuming the head didn't "rock"), measure the thickness of the remaining "unsquished" putty to get an estimate of the remaining clearance.
