you have to replace the pushrods since your going from a 1.6 to 1.7
not always, my stock heads accepted them with only using a couple shims

depends on the amount of experience u have. if this is ur first thing on a motor, than prob too hard, but if u have done other similar things and have someone to guide u along than u can do it
I think he needs a Trick Flow Stage 1 too.
