Get preload right and you'll be fine. But that is really important.
i had 60K miles and 3 cams (XE-R) on mine before i finally swapped to 850-16 during head swap.
I recommend 7.425 p-rods if your heads are unmilled or (less than .010) with stock gaskets.

heads are milled ~.033 with a stock gm mls gasket. went with a stock PR length and shimmed the rocker out. But that could be changing since its being rebuilt..gotta talk to my uncle (guy who is building it)
