Valves, Valve springs, Retainers, Cams, Porting and Polishing? Am I missing anything? What Brands should I go with? What else can we do? I wanna prepair my head for 8,000+ rpm's

Other things that you could probably do is Ceramic coating the exhaust ports...
Can't think of much else...
BTW all this started as an "innocent" attempt to just put in new pistons and rods and has now become a major engine re-design...
Better be worth it...

Valve locks are small easy to loose pieces that fit near the top of the valve stem in the head (2 per valve). They must be removed to take the valves out. Probably dont need new ones but since he named everything else I threw that in. The new rockers have imporved strengh right where ours/neons are prone to break. These are 2.4L peice but have replaced the part number for ours to. The lifter is the same but with a hole at the top to allow oil to escape and prevent over pumping up.

Actually the 2001 lifters have a bigger hole than the hole on the 1998 lifters... Just thought someone might be interested in knowing that.. I have never checked those on my '95.
I guess it might some people some money if they decide to only upgrade rocker arms...

I had a complete head assembly ordered from the factory early last year. Im wondering if i received the old or new rockers.. Does anyone know for certain ?
#3051, "most likely the old ones..." In response to Reply # 7
Whe I got the part numbers they just changed them for the new ones and were still selling the old ones. You got the old ones unless you *specifically* asked for them. This was all about 2 months ago
