Default piston/head/valve clearance

doing valve to piston clearance checks last night, I am gathering solid lifters today and longer pushrods to properly check, my hyd were compressing, I think I need at least 100tho valve to piston clearance how about piston to head clearance. I seem to be in th 60 thou range is that enough - 502 cast iron heads
