    Will stock motor benifit 1.7 rollers?

    I have read in a few mags that putting 1.7's on stock heads with weak springs can be a pretty bad combo. I would just save them for when you get a set of heads. Even a set of gt40 heads with 1.7's is the same setup ran on the cobra's. Good luck

    black magic e-fan ques

    I'm sure you probably didn't but its worth a shot. Did you change your thermostat? Could it be in backwards? I had a buddy do that one time and it turned into a much bigger problem down the road.
