So what do you think guys, should I do valve train upgrades for my cosworth cams? I really don't
want to but I dont want to float a valve either. The thing is, it seems to be a pretty big job, completely
pulling the head. I would have to pretty much do it myself, as labor would be insane I'm sure. It would
be easier to do the ported manifold, 02 housing, head studs and cams at the same time though.

There is alternative methods to installing springs and retainers without removing the head.....My friend installed springs and retainers for someone in Altoona on an VIII and he didn't remove the head.

mike, my eclipse gsx had a floating valve, i ended up needing a new motor but anyways, the guy that helped me out and is pretty cheap was jason urbanick, he owns the garage down on the island behind the court house, with the big fenced area with all the cars. maybe you even saw my white eclipse sitting out front for awhile.

How many of you guys still have the splash gaurd on? I got so tired of taking it off and on I just left it off the last time. I think my engine bay is getting dirtier though.

Mike, I i didn't do mine and its fine. This is what i was told. The stockers are just fine as long as you don't have alot of miles on them. I'm assuming your car dosn't have alot of miles so i would not worry about it. The big difference is if you want to make a redline up in the 8500-9500 range. And at that point you will need to do them!

Brian, I actually had mine off for awhile. Here are the problems other then a dirty engine. I started to tear my inside wheel liners off from the wind. Now i'm not sure how often you drive at those speed for it too happen but it does if you go fast enough. Plus you lose quite a bit of airflow to the oil cooler. I wish there was a better way myself as i hate the dam thing. Well since i now have a front splitter it won't matter. Now i'll just have to take the whole bumper off to get under there. At least thats alittle easier. sorta!
