On average, how much piston to valve clearance are people getting with the G5x3 (112 & 114) cam on stock heads? I tried to do a search but I kept coming across milled or aftermarket heads. I know the cam fits but I wanted to know by how much. Does it make a difference if you have ls6 heads?

 

I know my pistons were flycutt with stock heads .008 for added security. That was in 2005. Now I'm running a slightly bigger cam with afr 205 heads milled 59cc and have plenty of clearance. Sorry I don't have exact clearance numbers for ya, this the best I could do from memory.

 

on stock heads cam only a X3 on 112 has .07x clearance
114 is .09x on the low side

 

Thanks Predator.

 

I think you misplaced a decimal. .008 is almost nothing.

 

Well let me try to type what was said then 80 thousandths, no 80 ten thousandths. Thanks for the correction bro. 8 ten thousandths is NOTHING.

 

Eighty thousandths. Gotcha. I went the same flycutting my stock pistons for my G5X3 on a 112.

 

That's .080"

.008" is eight thousandths.

 

Thanks.

 

mine was .70 intake and .110 on exhaust its on a 112lsa if thats helps stock gasket 7.4 pushrods/ls7 lifters
