going through the same problem...but i think the piston to valve clearance is already really close, so with the milled head your just getting closer... whats the factory head gasket thickness?

i thought i remember seeing a thread saying to use 7.25 push rod...

You fly cut yet? There is no way those cams will fit a milled head like that, with that gasket. I'm assuming you mean .040 gasket right?

for sure will need flycutting. but i made my numbers with stock ls6 long block cam only with the vindicator and i really like the cam. And the 58cc will really add some Torque with this cam
