starkmaster03 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I decided to replace my lifters because they are making noise, badly. Well I started working on it today and realized that I'm going to have to pull the heads to do the lifters, unlike most you can't go through the intake. Well I didn't realize this until today. So I'm stuck in the dilema on what to do with the heads when I pull them or considering buying new ones. I have plans to build a completely new motor next year for the T/A but this motor will go into another project. So from those with experience, is it even work doing anything to the stock heads? If I do replace them, any recommendations? This motor will be a cam only motor, no N2O or boost in it's future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be building the motor next year probably for over the winter, so I'll be using this one for the most part next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Depending on what kind of deal anthony has in mind, just put the damn heads back on. You've got enough problems, build the whole engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
