[/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah. So you're telling me you've built a motor before the first time you built one? Didn't think so. Everyone has a first attempt at everything. Now I plan on notching my pistons because from what I read online stating that my valves on my heads are too big for the reliefs on the stock pistons. I have not attempted to check my PTV yet because I'm waiting for my head bolt bushings to show up for my heads. [/qb][/QUOTE]What you read online and reality are usually vastly different. My combo, according to the Intarwebz, should have required notching. But if you check out my thread, they barely made an indentation in the clay. If you need help checking, let me know. I can bring my tools to help you out. EDIT: Wait, don't you have an '86 shortblock? [/qb][/QUOTE]So 2.02 vavles will clear a stock piston? No, I have never had a '86 shortblock. [/qb][/QUOTE]It's possible they'll clear. Really depends on how deep the pistons are in the hole, head gasket thickness, cam specs, rocker arm ratio, cam timing. Sometimes you can advance or retard a cam to gain the clearance you need. It's not a hard and fast rule that a 2.02 intake requires a notched piston. [/QB][/QUOTE]
