I don't think you'll have a valve clearance issue unless you have a flat top at zero deck with no valve reliefs but with that low a compression to begin with it sounds like your pistons are not near the top ?
If the person cutting the heads knows what they are doing intake fit is not a problem. for every .010 off the deck surface you cut .0123 off the intake side of the head and the intake fits fine .

How is the gas where you are ?
