At what point are you measuring PTV? To get an accurate number the motor would need to assembled and rotated over, I would have to look at my paper work but I think ptv will be closest on the exhaust stroke as the piston comes up on TDC.

The evo9 piston will be a 22mm wrist pin, did you have 1g rods machined for the bigger wrist pin? Or are they evo 9 rods?

If the piston is down the hole a little that's fine. When it sticks out is when you can have issues. Also what size valves, valve springs/ retainers, and what cams/cam gears?

I want to say my race motor was somewhere around .025" ptv on the exhaust side and I would shift at 10,000rpm.
