I'm just wore out with buying all this stuff. I know, woe is me, but it's to the point now where there's no more joy in acquisition, just more money getting burned up on a frivolous project. The haul today is technically stuff I already paid for so, yeah. The cylinder head up at Naprec will be for the big power build and these bits and pieces are going in that. Tomei smorgasbord right here.
I had to order the cam gears and the lifters myself, this is the rest of the package. First the valve springs.
Now all the studs to hold the business together.
I am using the new ARP head and main studs to bolt the A-Team engine, but the beast gets these. The Tomei units have these posts at the bottoms. They bottom out in the hole to further stabilize the studs.
Now the bumpsticks that will orchestrate this show.
The lift is so high the head has to be cut to clear them. This is one of the things Naprec is doing for me.
Be sure to put them in right or you're going to have a bad time.
I decided I can live with the missing quench pad on my old head to save some money buying another used head. I'll have some new bronze guides installed, get some new Tomei valve springs and reuse the Apexi cams and lifters, but the old HKS cam gears are going on the auction block.
