Going with G5X2 concerned with size of valves
I purchased a set of Home ported heads that have not been milled they have Ferrera Stainless one piece valves 2.055 on the intake and 1.60 on the exhaust and I just purchased a set of Rev Dual springs. I will be going with the G5X2 cam unless the X3 is available soon.I was aware of having piston to valve clearance if the heads were milled too much but my question is what role does the size of the valves play will these valves be okay with this cam.
Thanks In Advance

If the heads are on the car, or not, Simply put any piston at TDC, pull an intake valvespring, and measure how far the valve "Drops" before it touches the piston. If you measurement is less than .195" of an inch, you will need to flycut the pistons.
