the figure will be different on each grinders cam due to base circle differences,and block differences, the only way to know for sure is to measure it with the short block mocked up

I will have to mock the cam up. I will be running a comp cam roller cam with .520/540 lift. In the mock up process would it be easier simply to first install each piston separately and rotate the assembly through 720 degrees or several revolution to see if something is in the way. Measuring cam to connecting rod clearances may be difficult. Visual is about all you have unless you actually contact the two in rotating the assembly. How much clearance is acceptable? Thanks for all your assistance
