Re: piston to valve clearance for 5.2

   We ran a comp cams 210/220 .512/.512 114lsa 110 IC camshaft
for awhile with no P/V problems.

   FWIW duration is going to make just as big of a difference as lift will
on whether you will have contact - since you are never at max lift near
TDC that really isn't the issue.
