I just bought a set of AFR 185's and was wondering about my pistons. They are Keith Black Flat top, with two valve reliefs pistons. Will i have trouble with the piston and head clearance

no one here can give you a definitive answer. you must do your own PTV clearance checking.

goes along the same lines of asking us what length pushrod you'll need.

Well what size push rods will i need lol.

i just didn't know if anyone ran the 185s with a similar piston. But then as someone just told me it also has to do with the cam too.

you need to get an adjustable pushrod length checker, and a set of checking springs


or pay someone like me to do it for you

I was being sarcastic about the push rods, i have a checker.

As for the cam/piston/head clearance i was just being lazy to see if someone had a similar set up so i didnt have to do the work. Yes i know shame on me.

good way to destroy a motor

If you run a cam that's any good, you will more than likely need pistons with reliefs cut for the valves. You will have to mock everything up to be sure.
