Not even close to having enough....get the notching tool on the way.

How could that be if a TREX which is 242/248 110lsa 108icl has ~.080" clearence on stock heads? If you subtract .030" from that you get .050" and this cam is much bigger. Even if the valves are bigger then at a 15 degree angle from the piston only about 10% of the increase in diameter will contirbute to a reduction in piston to valve clearance. I am curious as I will be running a 239/246 .649"/.61x" LSK/XE-R 106lsa 106icl cam on 5.3 heads with 2.02 valves and 1.60 valves. I will be milling the heads between .015"-.030" and flycutting .080".

Interesting. I would think if you only saw that kind of clearence then there would be no way the TREX would have 80 thousanths. What icl was the 224/228 cam on?
BTW, I look forward to the new products you guys are bringing out for the lsx crowd. Keep up the good work.
