Swapping heads - what can I reuse etc?
Posted: April 25th, 2009, 8:27 am
I've just aquired a 95 head for my stroker (currently a renix motor). I'm going to strip it, maybe hot-tank it and do some mild porting/smoothing.
I need to keep this project on the cheap, so here are my questions regarding disassembly/reassembly:
1) What can be reused, i.e. rockers, guides, keepers, etc.?
2) What needs to be kept in order and doesn't need to be when I take it apart?
If I replace anything, I was thinking only pushrods and springs (stock springs) cause these are fairly inexpensive, but if the current ones are good, I'll probably keep 'em.
Also, do the valvetrain components swap from the renix head to the HO head? Are the valves the same as well?
Thanks!
