Default TQ2 w/ 114 LSA+2 degrees PTV question*Predator*

Is the PTV on the TQ2 w/ say a 114 LSA+2 degrees gonna be fine? i ordered Cometic .040 gaskets and ARP head studs. You had said that on a 112 LSA that i could go with 2 degrees of advance ground in and it would be ok. Just wanted to make sure with a 114 i'd still be fine. Thanks dude.~Cole~

Can someone post up how to figure out theoretical piston to valve clearance? It seems this question gets asked a lot, and I also am trying to get an idea on how much I can mill some heads but now no idea how to figure it out.

claying would be the best method then you would know exactly what you are working with considering each engine is slightly different...

Same here... after taking the heads off I noticed that a couple valves kissed the pistons.

Obviously, but I, like others would like to get a good ballpark of what we're working with before we buy everything and start putting it together.

well i may go with a 114 LSA with no timing advanced ground in OR maybe getting thicker gaskets like .045's~Cole~
