From the bottom of the head? now that you mention it the heads on some of em in my pile of 20 going on my next build may have different height of heads on some of em (the short ones iirc) but I wasn't thinking of that when I measured em but I did notice the heads looked different (wider/maybe taller), I just measured the shank as that is the important dimention to get enough clamping. you have a bit of leeway there as the ends ain't dead square so I measured what I saw live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
