lq4 + 823 heads PTV clearance w/ 224 cam as the title states, I'm looking for some insight regarding 6.0L blocks (in specific lq4) with 823 square port heads and a 224/224/ 114lsa .560/.560 lift cam. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel here so I suspect some of you have real life experience with this setup and can advise me on my own. The heads are unmilled and I'm running the std mls felpro head gasket. Will this cam clear? and if i must measure what are the tolerances/clearances size i must fall in? Thanks in advance...

You have a good three feet of PTV clearance with that combo. Ok maybe not three feet, but nothing at all to worry about. Probably over .150, which in engine terms is a mile
