68273, Dropped Valve = Uprgaded parts
Posted by D32ATalon, Feb-11-04 06:22 PM
I dropped a valve. It sucked. Now, all these OEM parts are retardedly expensive. I wanted to know if anyone knew of a 420a head for sale or an aftermarket valvetrain kit. I want to build it instead of blowing money on stock parts that I'll most likey replace in the future. Thanks.

you need a good amount of tools to rebuild a head, id just take it to a machine shop.

How much do you want to replace?

We can get stainless steel valves and upgraded valve springs and retainers. Then just replace the valve stem seals, you can get new valve keepers if you like.

There's the option of upgrading lifters and rockers as well.

I do recommend having a machine shop do the install for you. You may need to regrind the valve seats, and they have the tools to get the valve springs out.

i just dropped a valve also, i decided to upgrade just about everything, ask mike i went through ERT. I would say for all your upgraded and new gasket/seal kit your looking $700-ish in parts. We can brake down the prices so u can choose what parts to upgrade and what not to.

my car will sound like, bumbabumbubavrooooooooooooooomrooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhh, kishhhhhh
