Hey,
In the future im getting cams not sure what size yet. While i have the head off should i just get it all done? Like cam, gears, studs, vaulve, springs, the full deal? or should i just shot for cams and gears? The reason im thinking wait and just do the entire engine is because dosnt it "cost money" basically to open it up every time w/ buying gaskets? I could be totally wrong i dont know much on internals and i want to learn. Eric

 

And my compression was a little low like 170 and doesnt that have to do with the bottom end?

 

i dont think that u will need to buy gaskets unless u take out all the head studs and do them at the same time but if you do them one at a time and torque them to spec u shouldnt have to replace that gasket... im just gonna go with the cams/cam gears/head studs.. but all those can b done fairly easy...

I would get the valve springs and retainers for peace of mind. You can get them for about 200 bucks. Just my opinion.

 

isnt the valve springs and retqainer in the bottom end? Im dumb at this stuff to be truthful so explain it.
