Reply to "Help selecting a solid roller - Please"

Jeff its impossible for me to guarantee that. I don't how much the decks or the heads have been milled, what the actual deck clearance is, or exactly which pistons are installed in terms of dome configuration. In all honesty you'll have to check piston to valve clearance no matter what cam you install or who recommends it. Its the only way to have peace of mind. If anyone recommends a cam that is so mild they can guarantee no piston clearance issues, you'd probably be unhappy with it for other reasons ... like low valve lift. And such lobes are hard to find in this day and age.

Stand back and look at the cam specs however, the valve lift isn't all that great, about the same as a Lunati hydraulic roller cam. The duration at 0.050 isn't radical either. Your request to avoid having to fly-cut pistons was taken into consideration when I was considering the options. But please, regardless of whose cam you install, check the piston to valve clearance and make sure the exhaust valve has 0.100" clearance minimum. Its floating exhaust valves that normally kiss the pistons.
