RE: Roller rockers killed my heads!
So since I know now that I need new valve springs, I am going to purchase those this week.. and then put the 1.7 Roller rockers back on. My new question is:
While I am in there, should I replace the valve seals since the car has 120,000 miles on it???

Well, if the guy follows through tomorrow, I may sell my dirt bike, and have enough money for my TFS Twisted Wedge Heads, and an E303 cam.. But I am not really planning on it now, so I get paid on Friday, and maybe Ill get to put the 1.7's to use for a little while until I am forced to buy new rockers for the new heads.

if ur going with the TFW heads get the trickflow stage 1 cam to match up. Usually ppl who get the E cam end up saying that they want the TF stage 1 because it has the one thing that the abc cams dont have....more exhaust lift!...a good thing!.

RE: Roller rockers killed my heads!
Well If I sell my bike today, I will order the heads and cam tonight. If I dont sell it I will get and install the new springs on Monday evening or Tuesday... I have been driving it, but not taking it over 2500 RPM and only around town driving for short periods of time.. Do you think it will be okay. My dad is a Ford Mechanic, and he said "Well they've been worn for a while, it doesn't happen over night, and as long as you're taking it easy, they'll be fine for a couple weeks..." I dont really want to tear it apart now, then do it again when I get my new heads.. But I will if I have to.

Yeah, turns out like I expected, another person saying they are coming to look at it, and they dont show up... I changed my mind again.. I have read a few pages where they say that the Trick Flow intakes work really well with the AFR heads.. Although I am sure that all intakes work well with these awesome heads, seems like on a few sites that I read, the Trick Flow stood out above the rest with the AFR heads.. Plus my bro's talked me out of the Trick Flow heads.. Oh well, looks like I have a little time to decide.
