I tell my clients that when they don't have the money to do something right, they always have the money to do it all over again. There is nothing cheap about correctly rebuilding a 911 engine and especially the mag-cased ones.

Well, I never really liked how I ended this thread and wanted to apologise to everyone that gave me good advice that I did not want to hear at the time. I was a little peeved the the shop that I had do the case savers did not mention or offer advice on the spiggot height and I was rushing into the build. I finally realized that that Steve's words above were right on, and I did tear the case back down.
A year later, the case was done properly in AZ, and I am progressing with the build. I do not want to do it over again, so it is being done right. It is now done up to the heads, and I got great deck height with one .50 shim on top of the barrel shims provided by the machine shop. For 2016 I am resolved to slowing down, and not being as snarky. Thanks guys for setting me straight before I hung myself.
