valve clearance cold is 0.2mm intake, 0.3mm exhaust. hot maybe 0.18/0.25mm (thats what i use)?
the crank pulley has a timing mark on it, and that can't change since it is keyed to the crank. turn the crank pulley to TDC, then see if the valves that are 'on the rock' are at the same height. if not, the cam may be out.
otherwise, check your ignition timing.
use liquid paper to mark the timing mark.
not really.. a little richer is better for higher compression, but the stock carbs run rich usually anyway.
are you using a stock carby? stock exhaust manifold, stock cam?

yer i did the head myself, but i havent checked the valve clearance when the engine is hot, what is the clearance i may have the setting too high, im running it at the moment without a air cleaner, bracing, and it keeps popping air/fuel out the primary barrel out towards the sky, its not igniting just spraying out when i rev it, i goes, but its easy to tell its the timing, im going to check TDC tomorrow but what should i mark the balancer as? does a pencil, whiteout work for the timing light, i have a timing light she holds idle at about 15degrees, because of the new head, do i need to also tune my carb to run richer or have a higher idle, because id be close to stalling if i run the car at 10degrees, and at 15 she struggless to drive, im assuming the timing is out already so my reading is probably really inaccurate, but i need to know what to mark the harmonic balancer with so i can see its line, and what i need to know what the feeler gauge measurement, and why she'd be spittin out the carby like that
