A few weeks ago my timing belt snapped and it looks the only damage was a few bent valves. I am looking to replace all the valves and install ARP Head Studs since the head is going to be off. I going to be staying with OEM valve size but I wanted to know which brand would you guys recommend for new valves. Also I wanted to know what else I should upgrade while the head is off. My goal for the car is 450whp and I was at 387whp before the belt went.

 

For your power goals, stock components would be my choice. p.s. Use arp head studs with an oem gasket

 

+1 to that. Good luck with your rebuild

 

I would do springs and maybe retainers while in there if you have upgraded cams.


Just curious, how many miles on the old belt when it snapped?

 

I still have OEM cams ...

The belt was changed at 60k and it snapped at 93k.
