piston to valve clearance question ---> need help hello guys
actually i just got my 215 TFS 64cc for my forged bottom ls1 5.7L
my cam shaft : 235/239 .621/.624 114 LSA
stroke : 3.622"
piston valve relife : -2 ----> diamond flat top
gasket thikness " .040" ----> cometic
and i'm thinking to mill my 64cc cylinder heads to spec. 60cc chamber volume
so that's will raise compression ratio from 10.63:1 up to 11.18:1
and i think this increasment shouldn't be a problem with tuning in 95 gas pump
so the only thing that i'm really worry about it is the piston to valve clearance .
so guys did any body run somthing like that b4 ???
any suggestions will be appreciated
thanks

I have a similar setup.
232/236 cam, -2cc diamond pistons, 57cc 5.3L heads, .040 gaskets.
I measured PTVC and wound up with close the minumum safe clearances of .080/.100.
You should be OK, but be sure to measure just in case.

ohh really
if i may ask , how did you know that ?
so i thik i shouldn't worry about that
coz as i know that The intake valve must have at least .100? clearance to the piston and at least .120? clearance on the exhaust valve.
am i right ?

2cc is that size on most pistons, if you look at the manufactuers spec it tells you the depth. For the diamond flat tops its .165 inatke/.107 exhaust
.080 intake/.100 exhaust is the minimum clearances you are looking for.
