Howdy guys,
So i just dropped the 1980 2V head off at the machine shop to clean and magnaflux the head. If all is a go, i gotta pick out new springs and retainers, it needs new valve seats, and I'm going up to 1.50" exhaust valve. I might as well replace all the valve seals, I'm thinking replacing the intake valves, and back cutting and the 3 angle valve job.
So here's my questions:
What springs and retainers should i get? I'm using a 256-256 Schneider cam with .420" lift and 1.5 adjustable rockers. Maybe 1.6 later. I've heard the 302 springs are good, but what retainers should i use? Or are there better springs to use?
On VI, they have stock steel replacement valves and Stainless Port Flow valves. I was thinking of using the port flow ones, or should i use the steel ones? This is a daily car so whatever holds up the longest. And are the port flow already backcut?
I still need to CC the head but I'll wait till i get all the new valves and seats done b/c the seats are failing and i don't want the sinking valves changing the CCs. Then i can determine how much to cut off the bottom. I'm looking at doing a 9.2 or 9.3:1 static. I'll be using 92 octane and am roughly near sea level. I plan to use a 1.08 Autolite 2100.
Thanks guys
Ryan
