i know stems. the only concern is that it states in the kit that i need smaller stems... i guess i'll figure that out. i don't believe i blew a rocker or lifter, but would there be a way to know that?
that's what happened lol

Damn dude that sucks. If the rockers and lifters are still where they should be then you shouldn't need to replace them. You will have to bleed the oil out of the lifters before reinstalling them though. Curious about how all that damage occurred.

New plan...
Zzp 82# springs and retainers
Supertech intake valves
Supertech exhaust valves
Supertech valve guides
Supertech valve seat
Viton valve seals
Good plan? All compatible?

I bought the seals from dezod. And in the supertech valve guide description, it says that those are required to work with the guides. Assuming that all supertech parts are compatible

I think I might be one of only a few l61 with fully built, port polished head. I am running the Supertech #78 springs, Ti retainers, custom seats, Supertech coated valves, and 5 angle race port and polish from Performance Autowerks. We thought this would be plug and play for stock, but was not. The stock size valves are fine, but custom work to head and seats is required. IF need more exact information, I would contact my man Dave or Ricky at PWerks in Plainfield, IL.
