I don't wanna wait for monday to call COMP/CAMS so I'll ask you guys.As recommended piston to valve clearance should be checked for peace of mind.
I have comp cam 351W HR RETRO-FIT, int-555/exh 534, dur 236int/242exh, LOBE SEP is 110. motor is 351W stroked to 408. piston is probe dish.
Current Heads is world product minus .020/ head gasket 040
Question is can I accurately check piston to valve clarence with hyd roller lifer or do I need solid?
Any guestimate on HP? other adders are C4, 3200 stall, 3.89D-lock, 700DP, performer intake. 2.5 exh. Thanks guys

Thanks Money... As I was doing a search on that topic a rebuilder recomended taking 2 hydraulic lifter apart and turning the value upside down in each. This made it a solid sure enough.

Or you can just shim one of your juice lifters with little washers.------------------
