Default 2wd head question - help needed

firstly how do you measure the head height?

secondly what's the minimum head height before a head becomes useless?

"officially", I think it is 139.5mm, measured from the head face to the cam cover face on the head.
Loads have been used past this without problem though, but might need timing tweaking due to raised CR.
