Default Valve to piston clearance

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew if I would be alright with a ten thousandths milled head, skunk2 stage 2's, and JDM ITR pistons?

Never take a shortcut when building a motor.

Telling you to clay is the safe bet.
With that said...we've run FAR more aggressive B18 builds with bigger sticks (Cs and Ds - I still curse them), CTRs, and much more milling - chad would remember, but I think one time we had milled the block so the pistons were out of the hole .010 and the head - we had no choice - was milled at least .025- .030.
I'll PM him for the full details so he can chime in.
Good luck.

If degreed correctly, you will not have any P-2-V contact at TDC.

However, to know the full range of adjustment on the cams, claying is necessary.

Yes assuming you haven't milled the head before. We've run -20k with a Mugen gasket and JDM ITR pistons with no problems.
