howell bottom end. I'm having some not so good ticking, so I may be rebuilding my head with some crane shit, titanium valves and PT cruiser stuff.

If your talking about PT lifters, good luck!! I cant remember his name but call Crane and ask for the guy that is head of the import cams. He drags a Neon, and explained to me why the plating on my Crane cams got eatn up by a certain set of lifters.

Im sure 9 out of 10 of you have had good experiences with Howell. I will NEVER order from them again. Bad rings, lifters, cam gears....

most people will say, DO NOT go with Wiseco pistons. JE = much better.
