L92 milling and cam size Using a stock bottom end (no releifs) and heads milled to 67cc's, what is the biggest cam that would fit without notching pistons? Assume stock valves and a .033 gasket.
How much has to be milled off a L92 to get it to 67cc chambers?

I will, you can do the math, but here it is. Baby 231/235 LSK 110+0, .030 mill, .051 gasket, -9cc dish. You don't mention LSA.

-9cc gives quite a bit of extra room. On a flat top piston without reliefs ( which was what I was asking) , I guess I need to know the L92 stock head valve drop. Telling me what you fit with -9cc dish piston and not specifying what clearance you had with your baby cam doesnt give much info. On a 6 liter a HUGE(joke but you broght it up) 231 110lsa would not fit with 243 heads milled enough to give the 8.7 dcr I am looking for. It would require notching the psitons. A 232 112LSA xer requires notching with .040 gaskets and stcok 243's. I doubt the huge valve in these L92's would have a better clearance but I dont know.
I know after these heads installed I/we will have a direct comparrison to ETP 215's, and 243's with the same DCR.
I wanted to test this myself to get real world findings for these heads with no secret cam specs, compression excuses, or BS size cams. My findings are solely to get to the end of the 6 liter question; not how they are with strokers. -------Will the proper/decent dcr get rid of the low end TQ loss.--------
I would think you would be interested.

you don't say if your pistons are in the hole or out and how much. Have to know that to give intelligent answer. On my mock ups the intake has a lot less valve drop that we are used to with other ls heads.

LS2-stock. I have yet to see a stock LS engine with pistons not out of the hole but mine are .008 out as was my last one and the forged 348 I had after it. So given that as your needed info, what would the biggest cam that fits be? A 232 112LSA with a .033 gasket and .025 milled would be out then?

Where are you getting a .033 gasket.

They stock .033, .040, .045, .051. They used to stock .027 also but now it is custom order only.
