i'm building a b16a with ctr oversized pistons. I'm worried about valve clearance with stage 2 sk2 cams? Is this possible? i called skunk2 and asked for specs they said there only .007. i searched a bit but didn't know what to search for really. please any help would be great.

 

Im thinking they were talking about valve lash and not piston-to-valve clearance. Do a search, this has been addressed many times previously.

 

you wont have any prob with this setup my friend has this setup and no piston to valve contact. Just degree the motor if you have the time and or resources to do it. If not keep the cam degrees together dont seperat it alot. "Stage II: Stage II profiles are more aggressive than Stage I profiles, and are designed for modified engines operating at higher rev ranges. Upgrading to Skunk2 Racing valvetrain components is required for proper operation. Stock idle and emission characteristics may be slightly compromised, but fair-to-good driveability allows them to still be used on dual-purpose vehicles. Proper tuning, an upgraded intake system, and an exhaust system are required in order to maximize the potential of these camshafts. Do not use oversized valves." taken straight from skunk2 website

thanks but i know about the dual springs. the put sk2 high comp valves, springs, and retainers. i just wanted to know if i would have a clearance issue, with the stage 2 cams and oversized ctr's.
thanks for the help.
