I bought a 306 cam and 987s with retainers and locks but no shims that have 9000 miles on them. The cam looks good but im wondering if i should go with some beehives instead. Im only running the 306 and stock heads while i save up for an le3 kit. Will the 918 beehives be enough for the le3?

What all will i need to switch to 918 beehives. Im not familiar with dif installed height and the 987s installed height was all over the place on the previous motor, so can i just install the 918s, retainers, shims?

Thanks guys

Nobody?

 

A few things...

springs, retainers and locks to start

Then you need shims to get them all equal and to measure that a valve spring micrometer to check and set all your installed heights.Valve Sprin Micrometer

Ya ive got the 987s springs, locks and retainers. Ive got the stock shims...can i use those if the installed height is correct? Should the 987s with 9k miles be enough for a 306 cam? I would really rather let lloyd set up my heads when i go with the le3 so i think ill hold off on the beehives if i can.

Thanks Bret

 

yeah that would work the best later on....
