ms4 cam in a lq9 clearance issues?

It will clear with about the same clearance as you had on the stock LS1 long-block. We definitely always recommend checking piston to valve clearance to ensure you are good though....if your timing set is off on a cam that big by just a few degrees, you can end up with piston to valve contact!
