Hey Alan at Futral made the below post in a thread of mine...

AFR heads milled .024" to 62CC with F14 -112+4 .075"\.152" with checker springs,solid lifters and .054" GM MLS gaskets on STOCK pistons. Same heads with F13-112+4 .086"\.167". If you miss a shift and float the valves your exhaust is whats at risk,not the intake.
Looks like you would have approximately .075, assuming you did +4 and the .054 head gasket... IF you used a .060 head gasket (GM MLS???) you would be at approximately .081. I thought the GM composite gasket was .052 compressed and the GM MLS gasket was .060, right???

I am doing almost the exact same cam... When are you doing this setup? I am really interested in the results...

Something I do not understand is why a lot of people are ignoring quench, and keep running thick gaskets while milling the heads.
Running a thinner gasket to achieve the same SCR will make more power than a thicker one and a mill. Not to mention that it improves flame travel and reduces detonation.

I absolutely agree!!! and that is the reason I fly-cut my pistons and I knew I would go to bigger cams eventually....

...my quench is approximately .038 with .007 to .008 out of the hole and Cometic .045 head gaskets....

I'm looking at going with this cam with my AFR heads milled to 62cc. So if I use cosmetic head gaskets, .045, then will I need to flycut?

You will likely be under the minimum recommended on the intake side. My 224/228 with AFR's milled to 60cc was below minimum with Cometic 0.040" gaskets. Exhaust was fine though and since the intake valve chases the piston I was OK with it.

So what your saying is it's feesible, but not optimal?
