How do I get them checked out? What gasket should i go with? thanks

TEA told me that if I used a cam with over 230 degrees duration I would have to notch the pistons if I used their 5.3 stage 1.5 heads with same size valves as yours and I was using the TSP Torquer cam v1 (233/233/ 595/595 112) You probably will have to notch the pistons..clay will tell the true story ..

Why are you afraid to flycut?
- Money? It's only about $200 to do it, so that excuse won't work.
- Weakens pistons. Nope. There's no evidence of a failure due to flycutting. Ringlands go before the center of the piston.
- Don't know how. It's simple. My dog could figure out how to use the tool.
- Don't want proper compression ratio and power. Fine, have a weaker car than you could. Get much less out of your hard-earned money because you refuse to get proper compression. It's your wasted money.

Wow, can you be anymore condescending with the guy?
What the fly cutting **** is saying here is it’s not a big deal to fly cut. It sounds worse and more expensive than it is.

How does fly cutting give you proper compression?

I'll let the original poster ask for more explanation if he needs it.
I surely believe that a member with 3500 posts and 2 years of membership like yourself can figure out what was meant. If not, you really shouldn't be driving.
You know, you really don't need to chime in on every post I make. Get a life. Just pretend to not be pathetic for just a little while. People are always PMing me and laughing and making fun of you for you having nothing more to do. It's hilarious and sad at the same time. What a life you lead. Make your posts without following me around and flirting with me. Thanks for making me feel wanted though. I'm just not gay. Sorry to disappoint you, sweet cheeks.

Damn the heads are gonna be off anyway, just flycut the pistons, its way easy when the heads are off. Flycut the pistons, then clay the engine and measure how much distance you have between the valves and pistons, and take that value and subtract .100 from it and thats how much you can safely mill the heads. This will give you your maximum DCR while still retaining the safe .100 inch clearance between pistons and valves.
I have been searching for something to tell me if my clearance is good, but in the end i am just going to have to clay the engine myself to be 100% sure. I am going for max DCRwithout hitting the pistons.

Lucky for me though my new engine is apart and on a stand. makes life a 100 times easier. I would surely drop the motor to do a H/C swap. Waiting for my gaskets, seals, bolts, lube, blah blah to get here early this week then i can clay, mill, and install the new engine.
