Need help with heads? I need to know if I can run Patriot ls6 style heads 59cc 2.02/1.57 with my cam heres the specs (232/240 595/.608 112 lsa). I want to know if the cam will clear with these heads with out fly cutting the pistons.
Thanks,
Matt

Call PP or the cam manufacturer. You're likely getting close to contact.
I'm setting up 5.3 heads (2.02"/1.575") with an F14 cam (232/234, .598"/.598"-112LSA) I was going to go with 2.05" intakes, but was told "NO." I've read of some here getting away with big cams and 2.05" valves.
I'm not sure what the valve drop is on the LQ9s...the 5.3s have a valve drop of .030" so regardless of what people tell me, I'm going to clay the pistons before I fire it off. An easier way is to snug the heads down with no gasket (just use the old head bolts) and rotate the engine by hand nice and slow. If it all clears you know you've got at least the clearence of your gaskets. A little clay on the pistons will gove you a much better metric and peace of mind.
I'm no expert, that's just what I'm doing...maybe you'll get some info from some of the sponsers here
