Default 2.02 243's on 5.3?

Hi guys, I posted this in the truck section but had no responses. I just got my Patriot 243 heads today with 2.02/1.57 and need to know if they'll work on my 5.3. Has anyone tried this?

They will work on the 5.3l with no problems. Late model 5.3 motors come with 243/799 casting heads on them.

No problems with the bigger valves, either?

No problems as long you aren't running a humungous cam. Many guys have run 5.3l heads with the same size valves with no issues.

OK, running a .551 lift cam at 1.7 but I'm running 1.8 rockers. I think the total lift should be around .582 or so, nothing crazy. Thanks for the input!
