And my 200 valve surface job turned into 540!

Wtf

Gotta buy new shims and longer valves seriously....

 

Drunk post or are you having the high school shop class do your heads?

 

Go get your heads and find another (honest) shop.

KW

 

No not drunk post!

Kw I was thinking about doing that today. It was supposed to be valve job and surface of it needed it. Well they had to surface them which I figured would happen no big deal.
gave them comp springs locks retainers seals and the comp shim plates. Supposedly the shims aren't enough and needs more.... Well with thicker shims now my valves are to short and need 100 long valves... He is adjusting for clearance and seat pressure. Ok fine but im only running the cc503 cam.

Im pretty upset about this!

 

oh and valve seals are no good and need new ones.... Searously they are brand ****ing new still in package.

 

Just get some new springs. What did you choose in the first place ?

 

Comp 908's

 

Never heard of a 908, the 26918 is what's recommended. Along with the 787 retainer and 648 locks. You wouldn't need new valves.

 

You're all jacked up, find someone who knows what they are doing and take it there. Get a decent double spring on there so you don't return to the forum in 14 months with a blown motor cause the beehives broke.

 

just realized I put 908 sry guys yes 918**

And I didnt think I needed longer valves.

Also closest machine shop besides this one is a 2.5 hour drive for me. Oh well its getting Manley ss valves so ill be good to spray if I want.

Future reference dont return to this jackass!!

 

Did I stumble into a time machine?!

You don't need special valves to use nitrous, get your parts away from that moron! You should NOT need longer valves, NOT!

Where are you located and what's the name of the shop that's screwing this all up?

 

Bullhead auto machine zip code is 86442

 

there is a shop about an hour away that numerous people have told me dont go to cause they are known for improper machining. This guy was recommended by ALOT of people. I would rather not get my heads done by him but also dont have the time to drive that far just for head work.

 

Your signature indicates you have LE1 heads. Why would you need a valve job? I sprayed a 150-shot on totally stock engine.

 

Because apparently i didnt change my signature. Sorry. Went with factory and also changed cam. Im going to fix sig right now.
Sorry fred
