Measurement stock head / valves

Hi guys,

got my cylinder heads back from cnc porting and valve seat machining.
Would like to measure how much has been machined off of the valve seat. Or actually how much Higher top of valve stem is now positioned relative to the valve spring base.
to decide if I let the hydraulic lifter take care of it or machine parts to compensate.
is anyone able to measure on a stock 996tt head with untouched valve seats - the distance from top of valve stem to valve spring base?

Thanks guys..

The seats has been machined twice, wasnt happy with the result from the first shop.
And maybe more times if previous owners ever did seats.
Can see that teh heads has defo been off before.
So I would like to measure how much offset from stock.

Anyone has a 996tt head lying around and can help with a quick measurement?
