Re: Old blue
I also forgot to mention my valve covers came in yesterday.... Wow they look awesome too ..... Now I just need to figure out how to drill the holes in them ..... Just doesn't sound right to take a drill to a perfectly good "Brand new..." set of valve covers... Oh well right.... LOL

Re: Old blue
Better check the specs on the valve springs on those heads and compare it to what the cam manufacturer says you need.
With 254/264 duration @ .050" with 312/322 advertised duration that is a "fast moving" cam with aggressive ramps so you are going to need dual valve springs. I hope your heads have at least 1.8" installed spring height, if it's set up for 1.7" or 1.75" you could run into clearance problems with .537" and .559" lift. I'd recommend dual valve springs so you could do the initial cam break in with only the outer springs then after the cam and lifters are seated you could put in the inner springs and then after those springs are conditioned (went through a heat cycle) you will be ready to go. High pressure single springs make it hard to break in a cam unless you have a set of "break-in" springs that will handle that much lift. The springs on the heads now might serve as break in springs but I doubt they will handle that much lift. Don't expect that cam to live very long in any event, and worse yet if it and the springs are not broken in properly. If those heads are 64cc, and the pistons flat top 4 valve relief, then you are about 10:1 compression. You could go with less cam but in any event make sure your heads will handle the lift and the springs will handle the aggressiveness of the cam ramps. Yeah, with that cam, if you have power brakes, you will need more vacuum like an add-on pump or reservoir or both. That cam, and that intake, you will also need like 3.73 or 4.11 rear gears and at least 2,800 RPM converter. You gonna race that thing? |
