PVC Help!
I'm in the middle of a HC swap on my 97 vette. I have a set of MTI Stage 2e heads milled .020" and an MTI X1 cam. I have the cam installed and the front cover/underdrive back on. I put one of the heads on the car with the old head gasket and old head bolts. Installed my 7.4 pushrods on cylinder #1 and installed the factory rockers. I turned the motor over by hand several times and everything went around fairly smoothly. After removing the head I saw "eyelash" marks on the piston top. I called MTI and they said no way I should be having interference. So searching around here I have seen where some guys are having trouble with PVC and these heads and cam. (example: last post in this thread. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ighlight=stg2e) Any advice on things I should be looking for that would cause the interference? Should I expect to have to flycut with this setup?
TIA

Yes the dots are lined up. Cam down. Crank up. Thats alot of flycutting. If i had a set of heads with no milling would I need to flycut as well? I didnt think flycutting was required with an X1.

If those are 5.3L milled .020 so they are ~59cc so that is why you'd be running into issues.
.060 flycut is not even 1cc, it is like the depth of a nickle coin.
