Default Clearance check.....your opinions please

The cam I have here is a Magic Stick 3 237/242, .603"/.609" 113 lsa replacing the TR224. My heads are are stock lq4 6.0L heads that have been milled .030 with thinner head gaskets. If I went back to a stock width head gasket or maybe thicker, do you guys see any problem with me running these heads with this cam? Lilredevil and I talked about this last night, and he seems to think they will be fine. What do you guys think?

Clay the pistons. I tried to get an anwser before I milled some heads but no one really knew. I clayed an lq4 with a comp 232/234 .595/.598 and had .120's-.130 intake clearance so with yours your asking for trouble.

post this on tech, they will answer REAL quick for you. But you will need your gasket thickness.
