[JoeliusZ28]

not looking for a valve job though, id love too but im on a budget.. if its still high ill get a kit and do it myself, but id rather a professional do it the right way

I wasnt looking for a valve job either until i disassembled the engine and found i needed one.

95% of the heads with 50K+ miles on them will need a valve job. At bare minimum the valve seats should be cleaned with scotch brite and the valves ground IMO

Jeeze i would hope so! You arent even utilizing the capacity of the stock heads with a stock cam!

i was told it had a hotcam when i bought it, but i may as well pull it out and check, since im taking the cover off anyway aswell

[JoeliusZ28]

Youd probably be better off looking for a stamped part number

[dirtybird]

i didnt think of that
