Default 302 valve clearance ??
I have a 302 (not 5.0) with the mid 70s dished pistons. I am currently running a Crane cam with .488 lift with 1.6:1 roller rockers. I want to throw on some 1.7:1 roller rockers. This will bring my valve lift to .518. Anyone know if this will be OK? Should I worry about piston to valve clearance? The springs on the Edelbrock heads are not an issue.

thanks in advance
Ed
