Max valve lift has NOTHING to do with piston to valve clearance

the TW heads move the valves around so you can put them on a stock block

Depends on what cam you use. Most mild cams work fine with Twisted Wedge heads but always check valve to piston clearance.

+1

Valve timing events place the the valves in the way of the pistons.
