    Got it all unbolted, now what?

    ive found out that if you leave all the rockers bolted down tight. when you loosen all the head bolts the pressure from the springs will pop the seal between the head and the block. makes things a little easier

    Winter Is Coming!?!

    cam Questions

    lifters will last almost forever. the weak point is the valve springs. a stock spring will not hold up for long with an aftermarket cam simply because they arent strong to close to valve fast enough and you get really bad valve float and possibly drop a valve if it breaks from over compressing it

    Problem with car shutting off ?

    check all your vacuum lines and make sure there isnt any leaks. also check and clean your idle air motor. lots of things could cause that problem

    cam Questions

    as far as the cam goes, i went through the same thing as you. a general consensus was to stick with a hydraulic roller cam. the stock valve springs will not work with any aftermarket cam
