Default PTV clearance question

Just picked up a used cam its a Bullet 234/238 .650/.650 w/ 112 lsa. Im very concerned about the ptv clearance. I plan on running the cam with my ported 241 heads, I know if I deck the heads ill be playing with fire but if I keep the stock deck height and stock head gaskets should I still have enough clearance without having to fly cut the pistons?

i have the same duration @ .050" 234/238 cam in my car with ported 241's,,, When i measured i had .102" PTV clearance intake and .110" PTV clearance exhaust. min should not be less than .080" intake and .100" exhaust... you should be good to go.

Nobody can tell you for sure. Every engine is different. I would check it to be sure, if you don't and crash the valves, that's your own fault.
