g5x3 ptv clearance
 

thinking about getting a lg g5x3 will i have to flycut with stock 99 heads? thanks for the help. :confused:

not with stock heads you wont, as long as their not milled. with aftermarket heads you will.

heads have never been off the motor so i should be ok?

ttt...

I think the 112lsa has clearance issues and 114 doesnt.

I think*

the 112 does not have clearance issues as long as the heads are stock. not milled and have stock valves.

thanks guys thats what i wanted to know :)

FYI,

I have been looking into the new upcoming Predator castings by Patriot (to debut in March). After talking to Gunnar he is saying that Cams as big as the G5X3 should be able to work with the new heads without flycutting. He didn't go into the expectations of the heads as much as I wanted to but it was enough for me to hold on with my upcoming project.

The 112 is really tight on PTV, could be more comfortable with A4 than M6.
One miss shift and kissy kissy pistons. 114 is more comfortable.
If your heart is set on a 112 then get G5X2 that one is better.
The difference is minimal as far as cam size.
G5x2> 232/240
G5X3> 234/242

Also, isn't the G5X3 available on a 113?
But yeah, an X2 would still be great.

You could order it on any LSA and ADVANCE you want.

x3= 236/242

Also, I run an x3 on a 112 and ptv is fine, but like others have said, with heads(aftermarket) flycutting is a must.

I to was thinking about buying this cam. But after researching it. I think I'm gonna stay with this X2 that I have. I'm putting 5.3's on and it will only add to the amount of fly cutting thats required to get good clearance.
And not to mention there will be little gained going up to the X3 over the X2.

You can run the X1, X2, and X3 cam on any LSA with stock cylinder heads with out having to fly cut the pistons.

Did you get that from your cam card?? X3 size...
Or by degreeing?
