You know what advice was given to me on ptv.. measure! You know what advice I didn't take.. that advice.. and now I'm having to rebuild my engine and get my heads repaired because of it.. so my advice to you....MEASURE!

Measure for proper PR length too.. there is no magical book out there that contains all the cam/head combos and what pushrods you have to use or if you'll have enough ptv.. only way to know is to properly measure.

I can already tell you that it will be very very close and more than likely will need to fly cut. But please do yourself a favor and measure.

I will tell you a .592-.598 XE-R cam is really close enough with a .025" mill stock gaskets. I dont think you are at a point where someone can tell you this is ok, you now have to measure this.
