piston to valve clearance

[thebullschmidt]

will a stock bottom end clear a trickflow stage 1 cam with 1.7 rockers? running windsor jr heads with the 1.94 intake valves and the 1.60 exhaust valves?

I'm gonna say yes because lift isn't so much the problem with clearance, duration is. But, DO NOT take my word for it or anyone elses. You should always check no matter what anybody tells you.

The valve reliefs may not be wide enough for those larger than stock valves in the heads you are using. Also, what year engine are we talking about...the early to 85 pistons were flat tops with valve reliefs, the 86 was flat top with no valve reliefs, and 87 up was same as 85 with a center dish.

1.94s will clear the stock valve reliefs no problem. I ran an X303 on stock pistons with those valves.
