stock retainers and locks? what springs and valves were you running?

 

no they werent stock, but im not sure on brand, they wree in the head when i got it. they were probably stock locks, looks like ill be going with s2 pro valvetrain next year, or changing cams. it was starting to do it on about 8 other valves too.

 

The one thing we didnt go thru, just assumed that it would be ok..... I don't regret one part of it yet, other than the money Chris lost in it....

 

Not much money lost, just parts that ill have to buy next time instead of catching killer deals

 

When can y'all come back and pick me up...I'm still in 1972 lol

 

If it makes you guys feel any better, I did a compression test on my k20 as part of a "pre-tune checklist" and got 200 PSI in 1,3, and 4... and 105 PSI is cyl. 2...

 

That sucks dude.

 

I know you've been in the game longer than I have Chris but I'd have to suggest you look into Ferrea stuff man. Skunk stuff is okay on a street car not turning alot of Rs with alot of boost.

Get grown man stuff for your valve-train man.

 

From what I was reading online, alot of guys were saying only use the Skunk with the cams.... I think we have run Ferrea stuff before.

 

yea ive had a few people say only use the s2 pro series with the pro1 cams, dunno how true it is. i had supertech stuff in the old head and it was great, been debating selling the pro1s and trying to get a set of tuner series s2 cams instead, but thats the last part of the build anyway, need to get a bottom end together first
