You guys think I would have a problem with this setup???? I got the TEA stage 1.5 heads. They are 5.3s milled .015 for 11:1 CR. I am lookin at the TSP 228,228/588,588 on a 112.
Question is for some of you guys with milled heads. Do you think I will have a piston to valve issue? Trevor said he didnt think so but I wanted some firsthand experience if any of yall have this setup.
Thanks, Stu

Re: You guys think I would have a problem with this setup???? I have a 224 XE-R with TEA Stage 5.3's "milled .015"
The P to V was tighter than expected when my installer checked it. Compared to an unmilled set of 5.3's mine had been milled more than .020 probably by someone before TEA got the heads and cleaned them up etc, I would have had a problem with a 230 sized cam in my specific case. I know others don't have problems or don't mind running tighter on P to V. I wanted to have a safety margin etc.
I'd check the P to V to be safe. Some times this stuff ends up being tighter than expected etc. Better to check on your specific set up than to take anyone's speculation as fact.
