Good job.
With the rockers removed, all valves are fully closed........unless one of them is burned.
BTW, it's very common to burn an intake valve before an exhaust valve. The intake valve starts with a lash of .004".........it doesn't take much neglect by an owner for this to fall to zero. Once it goes below zero, the valve won't close and it quickly burns.
The exhaust valve starts with .014"........and has a much longer way to go before it's stuck open.
It's time to remove the head and send it to Metric. You won't be disappointed.
