The lifters should compensate if you decked the block & heads within factory specs.
If you took more material off than what was recommended, you might have some issues, especially fitting that intake manifold on engine.

I'd think that you should be ok since you had .010 removed from your pistons too.

yea should be all good there was 26 out when I checked it, my thought was that the push rod being stock length, maybe it would hold the valve open slightly? i like what I'm hearing that it will compensate
