Building a new 505 With Callies / Mopar Performance Block

Are you checking the radial valve clearance too? Curious how much it will have on those pistons in this combo.
Good advice...I'd probably loosely bolt the head on without a gasket and go to zero lash and see how the radial 'imprints' some clay. I doubt your ICL will ever want to be lower than 108ish and the intake p2v will only get better further retarded.
