Default max height of piston above block

just fitted my new pistons and tightened my arp rod bolts up
the bloody pistons are 0.5mm above the top of the block!!!
had to wait 3 weeks for my rods to be polished and shotpeened and bushes fitted
may have removed too much off the block.....
what is the maximum that the pistons can protrude without interfering with the intake valve?

luckily i have another block

i will fit the head tommorow and turn it manually without the headgasket and see what happens

any ideas
