Re: PV clearance a prob with a 236/236 cam ? Depends on the LSA and ICL of the cam, but I'm willing to bet you'll have problems. If you decided to try that cam, MAKE SURE you check PTV clearances.

Re: PV clearance a prob with a 236/236 cam ? I finished my Heads/Cam swap last month, and let me tell you this: .30 cut off my 5.7 stageII heads, with my new cam (228/236.571.602) As I rotated the motor over to check P/V clearance, the exhaust valve smashed on the piston (DAMN) Sent those heads back to RMS, and we worked out a deal on 5.3 milled ONLY for straigtness (.0005) Again, installed those heads, rotated the motor over again to check P/V clearance, and sure enough, I had just enough clearance. Hope this helps you.

Re: PV clearance a prob with a 236/236 cam ? Why do I keep hearing people talk about limited P to V clearance due big duration numbers? It's LIFT that causes clearance problems. You could run a 250/250 duration cam with .540 lift and never have a problem with P to V clearance...

It's not just the lift, but where and when ya put it that's important.

Mine's a perfect example of above. Cam- 239/251, .570"lift, 106 lsa. Installed straight up. Heads milled .055". Had to notch pistons .080" and .100"
int/exh for clearance.FWIW
