Not a problem. Again, it is not the size of the valves, or how far they open, but WHEN they open and close that cause piston to valve clearance issues. The "B" cam does not have enough duration or overlap to cause a problem, even if using 1.7 roller rockers.

I have x heads (1.94 intake) and I want another b cam, it sounded so damn mean and loud...
