will i have an issue with piston to valve clearance with this setup ? 95 4 bolt main lt1 3.875 stroke 5.85 rods and srp 14cc .030 over pistons . .039 head gasket tpis afr heads and there zzx .595 intake 595 exhaust lift. has any body done anything like this ? also if i need to check for this what is the best way to do so with the light spring method or clay . thanks for all your help. any guess on how much power this set up will make ? thanks again.

 

Clay method is the best if done right. .080/.100 I/E would be my minimum. If the block is together ya can get cutters from ISKY to recut the pistons in the block.

Not enough info for guess on HP.

 

It should be ok, but you NEED to check. Clay is the easy way to do it, I think dial indicator is the "right way". Either one gets the job done.

Dont forget that the cam will hit right before or right after overlap period. I would check every couple º from -15º to +15º TDC

 

>will even be a factor if you install the cam straight up? (align the dots on the timing chain gear for the crank and cam).

 

thanks for all your help . bowtiepwr did you mean i should not have a problem at all if it is installed straight up . which it is. thanks again.
