Default Compression - milling, flycutting

I need help planning my setup. I will be using Livernois LS6 heads (243 casting) with stock sized valves. Using a G5X3 on a 112 LSA. I will be milling my heads and flycutting my pistons. I bought the 2 1/16" flycutter. My questions:

1 - do I need to flycut for the exhaust valve, or just the intake?

2 - how deep is a good starting point for flycutting on this cam?

3 - how much volume will I be removing from the pistons?

I need to balance it so that I get the equivalent of 59cc combustion chambers if you get my drift. Like say I mill .030" off the heads, that gives me 59cc chambers. But if I flycut 2cc out of the piston, I then only have the equivalent of a 61cc combustion chamber.

1. It'll depend on how much PTV clearance you end up having. You just need to flycut till you're within spec.
2. Depends on clearance. You just need to measure.
3. Not sure
