Could you review my cam and lifter specs. and tell me if I'm too close to the limits.
Heads have a max lift of .480
Cam lift is .462/.469
Roller Tip Rockers 1.52

Or will this combo work together.

Combo will work fine.

Using new springs I hope as opposed to use ones?

New heads
Planned build: 1975 L48 Top end

Summit #162109 Heads 62cc 170cc 2.02/1.60 Max lift .480

CompCams #CL12-238-2 XE262H 218/224/110 106* lift 462/469

CompCams Roller Tip Rockers #1412-16 1.52

I would like advice on this as well as head gasket thickness, and recommended gasket set. I'm planning this around a dished piston of 12cc-18cc. I can't seem to find accurate specs. I'm finding compression of about 8.8-9.4 with these heads, where should I be?
