Should I notch the pistons? LS6 heads milled .015 w/ stock MLS gaskets. Cam is F13 (230/232) 111+1. It'll be close and I know everyone will tell me to measure, but does this stand out to anyone as "You're going to have to flycut for sure" or "You're safe for sure".

if the heads are only milled .015, i think youll be okay, especially with less advance ground in the cam. TSP ran the torquer on heads milled 15, and its a bigger cam with more agressive lobes. I asked allan about running the f13 on stock heads with .042 gaskets, and he said it wouldnt be a problem as long as i didnt mill, so if youre running .060 gaskets, you should be fine. Dosnt hurt to measure while youre in there just to be safe. Easier to set you back a few days than it is to rebuild your motor.
