[QUOTE]Originally posted by SLOWSN95: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by JohnB: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 915.0gt: [qb] buy a set of 1.7rr before you buy the heads[/qb][/QUOTE]Why buy 1.7 rockers, only to limit yourself on cam selection? And yes, you do torque the heads when checking PTV clearance...and put a head gasket in there as well. When you're talking .039-.044 thickness for a HG, plus the torque, it can make/break a setup working. My advice...buy a set of used heads/rockers/pushrods from someone upgrading their combo. You get matched parts for cheap...that's what I did with my first build. [/qb][/QUOTE]I have already purchased my cam which is a TFS 1 (.499/.510 lift with 1.6s) I have been extremely curious how compatible the cam would be with different types of heads and whether or not I can get more of a lift out of them. But I couldn't pass up an EXTREMELY low milage tfs1 for the price that I got it for. John, what would be the best route for me to go if I want to try to fit 1.7s? I heard an edelbrock 2.02 intake would hit for sure, but 1.90s wouldn't? Not too familiar with cylinder heads so any knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. [/QB][/QUOTE]
