[QUOTE]Originally posted by Duncan Motors: [QB] read or google up on claying for clearance, then that will tell u what your working with. that's number one. if u have a problem an its noty gona work where notching needs to be done, the clay ass well show u where its gona hit, then u gotta make sure the piston will have respectable room to even be cut in that area, most aftermarket pistons are light which means they remove a lot of material where its not needed, most of the time u can see the contours of the piston from the under side, those are dangerous an not advised to cut, sense your working with stock pistons, and why u would run such a big valve on a stock piston is again odd, regardless those stock pistons are big and heavy and should have alot of material to still be safe to cut, now i take it your gona prob cut the pistons in the block? try not to get the shavings in the ring lands or oil galleries. no u cant reuse head gaskets, but with out a head gasket u can clay it, then what ever measurement u get add the compressed measurement of the head gasket. I dont do this because i have my combos figured out before I get that far, an most stock pistons aren't worth moving that much air to need that big a vavle. kinda un matched which come back to proper planning. good luck post some pic of the finished product.
