G5X3 114 and stock heads piston to valve clearance measureing I know it will fit if the heads are stock and are unmilled, but how much clearance will you have with it? My car is a 6 speed and I am worried about overrevving it if I miss a shift or hit the rev limiter. I think you are supposed to have .080 of clearance on the intake side how much does a G5X3 on a 114 have when installed in a motor with stock unmilled heads?

I know it will fit, I'm sure that it will provide .080+ clearance if using unmilled heads, but I'm not sure how much "extra" clearance you'd have. Probably not much, maybe .085-.090 total, I'm assuming its a tight fit. Maybe Lou will chime in, or somebody who has measured P to V clearance with this cam. Good luck, Shawn

I talked to somebody at LG, dont remember who when I ordered my G5X3 114. They told me 112 needs valve reliefs or fly cutting even on stock heads and milled heads, 114 will clear fine on stock heads or unmilled heads.
