Hi, so im running a custom clay smith cam which was meant for 1.7s but i bought comp 1.8 roller rockers. I have pac 1218 beehvies and should be running .619 lift. Photo is cam card. Should i have good clearence running stock headgaskets on my 241 heads. Also can pac 218s hold to .619 at 6200 rpm?

PAC 1219's might be a better choice.

I hope you didn't pay a premium price for that "custom" cam

It's just a common re-boxed Sloppy Stage 2, Jegs or Trick Flow camshaft.
