"The average install height was 1.785 on this head"

That's a good tid bit of information. Again, it could be presumed the springs are at 1.800" according to what you read regarding the Speedmaster head.

A similar situation with the Edelbrock head that is advertised with a 1.800" installed height. But when measured by some it will vary.
That and even springs in the same batch can vary slightly in height.

An installed height of +/- 0.020" is acceptable depending on the source.
