question about PVC

i am currently running a xe 230/236 (.544/.555) cam with Victor Reinz head gaskets. I am getting my heads milled right now and waiting to pick them up. Should i be worried about my PVC?

I there some sort of relationship to what you are doing to make you worried? I don't know of any.

no, no reason to worry. I just wanted to assure myself. Thanks AChotrod i remember you asking about this a little while back. My gaskets are also .026 so looks like i should be good. They are going to be ready tomorrow and its time to start bolting everything together. The only other thing i have to get now are my pushrods.
