Default 233/239 w/ milled heads or ptv #'s

DOes anyone out there know how much you can mill the heads, or the total amount you can lower the head onto the block (combo of milling and thinner gasket) with a 233/239 cam and 241's. I wanto mill them .10 or .20 and throw the .030 gasket in them bringing the compression up about a point. ANyone have any prior experience?.... Oh and flycutting is something im not ready to do at this point.

It should fit.

I have Patriot 59cc heads with that cam, but mine aren't milled. Thats the only thing stopping me from telling you they will fit 100%.

That gasket would be way to thin to run, unless your pistons turn out to be at zero deck, or in the hole a few thousandths.

Per the post above, those pistons were .015 out of the deck, about .008 more than usual. You would be putting the pistons within .015 of the deck - way to close.

Yeah...you might want to go with a .040 gasket. I'd also say that you should be prepared to flycut your pistons with a .020 mill, bigger valves??, .040 gasket and that cam. Make sure to measure!!! It's very cheap insurance in the long run. Flycutting really isn't that hard either.
