Default Torquer 2 PVC question

I'm looking at getting a cam in the near future and have decided on the Torquer 2. Would this cam clear the stock pistons ground on a 110LSA +4? What about with 0.040 head gaskets? I will be changing the lifters, so if I can pick up any compression/quench with thinner gaskets I will. I'm not wanting to flycut either as I don't trust myself. I've tried a search on this but can't seem to come up with anything regarding this exact setup. thanks

Yes you will be fine if you stay with stock pushrod length and stock rocker arm ratio

No it will not clear on that LSA/ICL and certainly not on .040 gaskets.

Stock pushrods are way to short for that setup. Try a 7.425. I would surely flycut since the heads are off anyway.

you would need to flycut if you go with that set up.

It will clear on a 112+2 with "safe" margins, on a 111 with tight margins and on a 110+0 with insane margins. (speaking for street use). Stock gasket

What about 112+4? I thought this cam came with 4 degrees of advance (at least it does straight from Comp). Also, with .040 gaskets, what's the tightest LSA you think it would clear?

I guess I would be open to flycutting if it's not that hard to do, just never seen it done before. For those of you who have done it, what are your thoughts?

ls2bait, I found that video off another forum. I don't know the people in it, but it's certainly funny to me.

Less than .070 and .090 (Int/Exht) for the street (that being already .010 tighter) is playing russian roulette.
There is much feedback on this issue.
The rest is up to the installer.

Since he stated above it would clear advanced two degrees, I'm thinking that you should get a little more clearance on the intake side at +0. I'd get an adjustable timing set and check it to be sure, that way if the exhaust is too close at a 112 ICL, you could advance it to clear.
