Heres what I have: Heads: hand ported 241, patriot gold spring kit HS rockers. Cam: F13, futral pushrods.
heres what I need:
Oil pump: should I buy a ported stocker or buy ls6?
Valves: farerra or manley?, stock or 2.020/1.57?
Gaskets: GM or Mr.G / other?
Head bolts: ARP/ GM?
Timing: NEW sprockets/chain or Just new chain? LS2 chain or aftermarket? Single roller, Double? heat treated, non? adjustable? brand?

 

arp heasbolts, and the ls2 chain which is beefier is fine. did you get new springs?

 

Don't forget a new harmonic balancer bolt. And use an installer tool to pull it on, not the crank bolt.

 

Why do i need new valves? Is it not worth the extra 280 to put in oversived valves with the FMS F13?

 

I'm running stock size valves. I was asking if you "NEEDED" to replace them as in burnt, warped, worn.

 

I suppose I wouldnt need to replace them, but if a year down the road i regret it or it I'm missing out on an extra 10 HP, then I want to do it! I'll make a new thread/poll

 

yes, get 2.02/1.57 valves....Air will only flow through an engine as fast as it does at its most restrictive point. if you plan to do more mods in the future you will definitely be glad you did.

 

well, no. I'm not going any future mods, this is pretty much where the HP stops with my car. Total cam/heads, not really many more mods left.

 

Larger valves will require machine work on the seats. Valve job'll add about 200+, 300+ if you get a nice race valve job, might have to do guides as well with new valves.

 

Umm I've already sent them off. Cost is 180. These guys have been doing heads for a long time.
