NO

You need to measure and flycut the pistons (if necessary) if you're planning on running ANY type of milled/large valved heads with ANY cam.

No doubt about it you will have to flycut and alot at that. If you dont there will alot of noise on first startup along with alot of bent valves and prob spun rod bearings .

I just bought the MS4 and have PRC 5.3 2.5's milled to 59cc. Clearance is not even close. You need to flycut. I was told by TSP to go .100" on both the intake and exhaust if that helps.
