Default retainer to seal clearance with high lift cam

I have a F 14 cam with the .598 lift ready to go in. will I have any clearance issues with the retainers hitting the valve seals with this high of a lift cam?

Always measure before install. Put the retainer and locks in place on the valve stem and measure the distance to the seal. That will also help if you need to add shims after measuring installed height to obtain the correct seat value for the cam requirements.
