Default Lq9 with 243 heads and MS3 question?

I have some parts that i originaly planed to use in my 5.7 but i came across a good deal with a lq9 and i take it. Now i have a MS3 cam 113 ls and a set of 243 ported heads. Now my question is, with that heads and cam can i have piston to valve clearance probles? Thanks in advance.

Have the head been milled at all? You can have ported heads, but if they are milled or have larger valves you would probably have some clearance issues. Those cams are made to fit on heads with no piston to valve issues.

They are not milled. I plan to buy your PRC spring and reteiner kit and head acm gasket kit. Can i choose to have the heads gasket for the 4" bore?
Thanks

Yeah you would just buy either the stock GM MLS 6.0l gaskets or the cometic 4.030" gaskets if you are looking for aftermarket.
