What's the recommended amount to fly cut / valve relief the top of the pistons when running an LS3 head to be safe to run any cam later on?
Also, the pistons that are in the block I have already have some fly cutting done. What is the best way to measure how much or how deep it's been cut already?
thanks.

No idea on cam yet. Just seeing if there was a standard depth on fly cutting the heads.
I suppose I just have to measure the depth that they are fly cutted to now and go from there.

You could always use the end of a set of dial calipers and measure from the piston face to the deepest point of the relief (middle of the "eyebrow")
That's about as scientific of a way as using modeling clay, And measuring I suppose..
