Re: what to do

Welcome to the board! What motor do you have? You could run a compression test to get an idea of the condition of the bottom end, it should be fine though. You will definitely wake up the motor with a new cam, intake, etc. Depending on what heads you have they may not be worth much work, it may be cheaper to find new ones. When I had my motor built that is what my builder told me, he said the runners were to small to get good performance out of and I'd be better to buy some vortecs or something.
