    Floated the valves

    Thursday night I was out beatin on the ol' four eye and just about 5500 I would say 5650 (best guess as my pants filled with shit) I floated the valves and so I brought the car down to idle and it sounded fine no noises or anything. So I proceeded to beat some more and ended up doing it again. No big deal but. Those bitches should not be floating so low. What I am getting at is if I have to replace springs I might as well do the cam right? I am thinking TFS stage one, and porting the heads or pickin up some cheap heads. I know I have been down the H/C/I road with ya'll before but anyone wanna gimme some tips or advice that would be great. Thanks

          (Ponders) If the heads have to come off... why not just put new loaded ones on!

            thats what I am thinking is getting soem nice E7's proting them put new springs and maybe bigger valves, but the flip side is I can do just new springs without pullin the head but thats not really fun cuz it want be any faster

                I'm wondering similar, would it be worth while to put stiffer aftermarket valve springs on some e7's?

                    Well, now you can port my heads, AND your heads. Do yours first though, just in case you are rusty.

                          If it helps Im planning on running a TFS stage 1 cam with the TFS valve spring upgrade kit on a set of self ported E7s. 1st summit order gets called in tomorrow.

                            and hell, if the hood is already off, why not just throw in a new motor?

                            or better yet, if the car is already parked, buy a new car?
