    piston to valve clearance

    i have a 94 gt with GT40 p heads 1.6 rockers and a tfs stage 2 cam project in the works, anyone ever run this combo? i assembled one head with check springs in it and i have .164 on exhaust and .135 on the intake but this is with hyd roller lifters in place, i hear you should use a solid one to check but i can't compress the lifter at all so am i ok??????

    if you have the checker springs on the valves, they will not depress the hyd. lifters, and .100 is the least i ever go..
    2015 A6 Mustang GT that so far has gone 9.48@147 but still the fastest prochargerd S550 in the world aside from Tim Essick's!
