    That's close, but not too far from spec. More clearance would be preferred.
    If you have a lot more exhaust clearance, you should adjust the cam timing a little.
    You can change cam timing if your timing set has different advance/retard positions. If not, you can use offset keys in the cam to advance/retard it a few degrees.
    What cam are you using?
