Default flycutting pistons

Do you guys think I will need to flycut my pistons when using a set of 98 heads that have been very well worked over...ferrera 2.02/1.60 valves...milled 35 thousanths...while using a tr224 112 cam? I found a really good deal on a set and was worried about valve clearance. Any help would be nice.

Check just to be certain... less work than building a new shortblock.

What length PRs, what thickness gasket? Im running 7.400 PRs on a 1.450 base circle cam, heads milled .040 and a .054 gasket. This puts me right around .010 over stock preload, and she runs well with very little noise compared to when I was at -.030 preload.
