      Hey guys....i'm trying to figure out my compression ratio and piston to valve clearance....thinking i should be good but wanted another opinion...........i'm switching to Retro-fit roller and was wondering with my factory dish pistions would be any problems with piston to valve clearance on Comp Cam XR276HR at .502/.510 lift...upgrading from comp cam magnum .470/.470....... here specs:

      Stock Dish Pistons
      Felpro 1094's gaskets(.015 thick)

      I just put dart heads on my sbc. My blocks deck was zero. I have a similar sized cam with trw flat top pistons with 6 cc valve reliefs. I had double the required piston tio valve clearance. But the only way to know for sure is to check. I used the play dough method.

      X2 on this! PTV interference is more a function of the duration than lift.

      I had a small block that was zero decked, flat tops, 64cc chambered heads with comp 280 250 duration 510 lift and there was room to grow. You will be fine.
