Question: What about the heads?

[skintback]

Well i have a head gasket going out and Im just going to go ahead and pull the motor and do a small build rods, delip pistons, head and main studs, key cam and crank, and maybe some head work my question is what to do to the heads if the springs are shot?

Thanks, Sonny

I would call up Guy and talk to him on the phone.

Yes i was going to have GUY do the pistons and buy the cam and crank bolts form him and also if needed the valve train hardware I will be giving him a call i just wanted some other opinions. Like is the stock valve train ok for 4000+ rpm's

for a budget build I would replace the valve springs and keepers.

Our Stage 1 heads are designed around the customer that has his heads off and is doing a budget build. The Stage 1 includes our Beehive springs, spring cups, steel retainers along with some valve bowl porting and a comp valve job.

Good for a 30cfm increase on both the intake and the exhaust ports.
