Default PTV clearence question

Will a TSP 224R and LPE heads milled Milled .055 work?

What pushrods will I need?

Finally, what compression ratio will I be looking at?...safe enough for pump?

thanks in advance guys

Thats a lot of mill, it might fit, what size valves do you have and what size head gasket are you going to use?

Use a compression caculator to find your compression, search for the calculatorthat is posted in this forum.

As for pushrods, buy a length checking tool and measure for yourself, that way you dont have to rely on Internet hearsay you will know exactly what you need..

That's a lot of milling. If you have aftermarket valves, they will stick into the combustion chamber even further, causing more PtoV issues.

I say either clay it or flycut the pistons to be safe.
