Valve to Piston Clearance

    If I were to put SE Flat top pistons in, 82CC the heads on, 0.030" HG is there enough valve relief in those SE pistons to accomodate the stock valves or will the reliefs need maching out.

    I know with the 1.9" inlet valves in the valve reliefs need to be machined, but not to sure about stock.

    Can anybody help me out with this.

    Oh yeah the motor is going to a 95" if that's any help.

    Cheers for any input in advance

    hi, you don't mension what  cam your using , but with any mod when you change the deck height you must check  1st + it depends if 82 cc was done buy bathtub style or shaving the head , the more clearance around the valves  the better  its no good having nice ports only to shroud the valve head  at full lift + restrict flow,
