ETP 225's and T-rex...... The heads are 11* ETP 225, 57cc, 2.08/1.57 valve, stock bottom-end (minus rod-bolts), and a t-rex cam (exact specs 243/249.5.612/.618 110+s). The question I am having at this point is PTV. I have no issue flycutting but I am wondering if somebody has a similiar set-up. Also, I have a set of .040 cosmetic gaskets but I heard that I may want to use the stock gasket. What is your opinion and explain why.
Thanks
Thanks

I have the exact same heads and a smaller cam and kissed every piston even after verifying PTV clearance was around .050. Perhaps it was less than we thought. Anyway, I say the T-Rex is not going to fit.
