Valve Clearance

yellow rose said

You don't know anyone that can notch a piston? Unless you are running a fairly long camshaft you probably won't have issues. It still needs to be checked.

Buy the correct piston to get the compression ratio and deck height. Then check P/V and if you have to notch the Pistons so be it. It ain't that hard to do.

The idea here was to get member thoughts on clearances based on the duration of the cam because mathematically, I'm unsure of the calculations. Yes I'm sure someone could notch pistons for me if I needed to but I'd rather not add unnecessary machining costs if I can just get the right pistons the first time.

Mathematically, it sounds like my duration is not long enough to be a real concern so I can now confidently buy the pistons in mind and check the clearances with clay once mocked up. Thanks folks.
