Update just for Paul.
Put my new Brian Crower valve springs, Titanium retainers and valve stem seals in.
Along the way found a broken valve spring, some odd pitting on 2 cam journals which I have fixed as well as I can without taking the head off to a machine shop and good news being I don't have to drill out rivets to remove my baffling inside my valve covers to get them powdercoated.

First set of springs and valve stem seals I've done with a JZ in a car. Lot easier than on an engine stand. No bobbing and bouncing. Cotton balls to avoid a keeper ending up in the oil galleys, luckily I had no issues with keepers.

Clearly the engineers at Toyota anticipated this being a job getting done on all JZ swapped MK3's so my ass fit comfortably in the area between the bumper and radiator support. I used a rope to keep the valves up, air is overrated.

End result

Just gotta decide on 264 cams or 272's. I like the idea of 272's so when I get the stones to take it to 9,000 rpm I still have power. Like the thought of 264's for more average power. Need to decide which and order it. The fuel system is a 160* fitting away from being done. Also gotta reassemble with the new cams and measure the valve lash. Going to shimless buckets which is going to help me rev a considerable amount higher.
Idea's for these? Lamp? Baseball bat? Prosthetic penis?
