Did you actually see valve head impressions in the valve pockets after painting them with a sharpie?
Assuming proper setup of that camshaft, I find it hard to believe that you could have p-to-v problems with flat top pistons and the D3VE head (which puts the valves 0.100" higher over the piston than most other heads). Are you sure you are not experiencing retainer-to- guide interference?
