1929-31 Chevrolet 194 Valve Dimensions & Info REQUIRED

Can someone provide me with some Measurements ??

Looking for some Dimensions on a 1929-1931 194 Engine with stock Components... I know that the Valve Head Dia varies, but the length is the same, Same Rocker Arms are used Casting No: 835549, and the Push Rods are interchangeable as well. So these Dimensions SHOULD be Pretty Darn Close on all 1929-1931 Engines !! Previous Owner seems to had a Head job done, want to know if what i have matches stock !!

I need to know what the distance is from the top machined surface of the head (where the spring sits) to the TOP of the Valve Stem. WHEN THE VALVE IS CLOSED !! I want to see what the STOCK is vs what I have.

Then the Length of the SPRING from Same machined Surface up to the top of the Spring, NOT INCLUDING THE CAP.

Also a Stock Push Rod Length would be nice, so I can verify IF those were modded or not. Distance from Lifter end to Cup end (including cap on 1929-1930 engines)

GREATLY APPRECIATE IT...

If you notice in the pictures, It looks like someone along the way did a Valve Job on my 1929 head. I am trying to determine IF what they did will work effectively and efficiently on my 1929 or do I need to get a new 1929 head and get all stock components.
