Default G5x3/AFR 205 59cc/ without flycutting ?

I have a set of AFR heads that have been milled to 59cc. I also have a g5x3 114 lsa cam in my can now. Can this combo work without flycutting? I know it wont work with a .040 cosmetic but will it work with a bigger gasket? I just dont want to flycut and run nitrous also. Thanks for the help

Yes it "should" work with stock gaskets. Not the safest margins but good enough not to be criticaly tight.

However do not take anyones word for it and measuring or claying is the best advice.

It will fit, but it is always better to measure just to make sure. Why I say that? Well what if the heads are milled more than 59cc, or measure the chambers witha burette, or a cc seringe for that matter (don't shoot up though )

I'm pretty sure at least 40 thou has to come off those heads to get them at 59cc. I'f I'm not mistaken you have to flycut at least .025-i wouldn't chance it-just flycut to be sure.

How did you come up with that?
Do you know that AFR are thicker on the deck and have more PTV than stock castings?

59cc on AFR 205s is 7 cc mill or .006x7= .042 mill

X3 on a 114 with stock gasket will fit, heck the 112 will fit but that is too tight for my taste.

I would call LGM, after all they make the cam right? Speak to Louis and settle this before you pass on a good setup.

I wish there was someone around here that has done it before. I am very capable of doing the heads myself but for some crazy reason, flycutting just doesnt seem easy. I hate to pay money for something I can do myself
