Will i need to fly cut
I have an MS3 and im going to do my head swap this weekend. I already have Cometic MLS stock thickness head gaskets and im pretty sure i wont have to with these. I was wondering if i can go thinner to get a higher CR. So will the PTV be good with .041?
Cylinder heads specs
706 casting
62cc chamber
2.02 int
1.57 exh
Is there any other info that i should put down to get a accurate response? Thanks

Who worked the heads for you? Unless they are the PRC 5.3L heads specifically set-up for that camshaft, you will have piston to valve clearance issues, even with the stock thickness gasket.

You'd want to check the clearance with the 111LSA (always a good idea to check anyway, but this is going to cut down on clearance that is already tight)!
