Default MS4 cam & 6.0L heads

Will an MS4 cam clear without flycutting on a set of 317 casting 68cc 6.0L heads? Would be running a .53 (compressed thickness) head gasket.

Thanks

i've seen it clear a set of 215 heads that were 59cc with a .40 cometic gasket..so i'm pretty sure it should clear 68cc 6.0 heads..just want to make sure before i take the plunge

If your 6.0L heads have a 68cc chamber size, they've been cut about .030". It definitely won't clear if the heads have been shaved .030"! I would verify your p-to-v.

You are correct sir they're milled .030"..i was being hopefull, but I guess the MS4 just isn't right for me..

Since the MS4 is out, what next size down cam will clear these heads?
