Been pouring through the various posts about this mod, including Pope's sticky. I've learned a lot about valvetrains in general because of it, which is good lol.
I just want to make sure I fully understand the mod. Those who know (Pope, detobias, etc.) please check my work.
3.3 Springs - RockAuto
Retainers - COMP Cams Steel Valve Spring Retainers 774-16
Keepers/Locks - https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/SEPVK144R
I will need to upgrade my exhaust valves to single groove design - Chris at TU should be able to hook me up if I give him a ring, yeah?
Also, as far as I understand it's not necessary to change out the intake valves?
Will need to have machinist check closed pressure and shim springs as necessary - looking for at least 80lbs, but looking for more like 95-105
Running stock/TBI cam so coil bind shouldn't be an issue, but will have machinist check that as well.
Is there anything I've missed?? Looking forward to getting confirmation on this. My head is already off the car so it's the perfect time to freshen up the valvetrain.
