Default 1340 Evo Engine Rebuild

Have question about Cam! I surfaced .040 off my heads, so I wanted to make for sure that the pistons are a stock compression ratio in .010 over. Using stock H/D gaskets. I want to use Andrews Cam with 600 lift. Looking into ordering Wiseco Pistons (K Kit) Does anyone know if any issues with valve clearance? Worried about Spring retainers hitting valve seal and pistons. How much more of a Cam can I use or the Andrews Cam work with the Wiseco?

OE springs can handle up to .510" lift.
The Wiseco piston valve reliefs are machined very deep to handle large TDC lift cams, as well as larger valves.
Happy to help.
