Default Got My RMS SII 5.3 heads today!

I recieved my new 5.3 RMS SII heads today, and let me tell you, they are AWESOME!!!! The intake ports are huge, and the exhuast ports look PERFECT. MARK, you, and your porter did a great job. Those Yella terra rockers look like there going to perform real-well. Mark, as soon as I have the car back together, I'll have dyno #'s

you guys need to look at your decimal places....
please... .005 would be a straightness mill...and most ever on most heads would be .050-.060
This can mess a lot of people up.. Just trying to help clarify..

Glad ya like em Seth! These heads should crank out some good ET's with that cam! Get it to a dyno, I wanna see what she cranks out!

We milled the heads .005 not .050.

Yes, i do belive you'll have clearance issues. I had milled 5.7 heads .30, and my piston to valve clearance was ZERO. Valve hit piston. Now my 5.3 RMS SII heads, milled only .005 for straightness, I now have .90 P/V clearance, but only .15-.20 Piston to head clearance. Make Sure you clay it. Good luck
