    It was high for na , 230.2 was the figure the camber was out though and according to jon it can male a difference on the rollers but its been set up now and ran a few thousand miles just changed to fully synth oil to so it should all be performing at its max and hopefully good numbers i think anything over 200 is good na , iv put a fair amount in to get that figure like

    Will do mate im using a mk4 metal head gasket so the compression ratio is different , we have agreed at 150 very steady miles then ill travell the other 150 down to stealth for its map

    Cheers man , yea the schrick starts pulling at about 1500 to 4000 but then runs out of breath , hopefully with the cams coming in at 4 to thd limit and the big port throttle it should be ok , im only raising the limiter to a very safe point as i dont want to shag the valves up , just ordered the new ina tappets today so they will get submerged in oil for a few weeks before they get fitted
  19. redborbet
    Thanks for the info i did read that actually , i font think they will give a warremty unless you buy new tappets aswell ! As for the rev limiter its staying on so i can run standard springs and tappets as i read that upgraded springs cause a lot more wear on valvetrain , ill be runnng a schrick and big port throttle aswell so hopefully wont need to rev that high , ill be down at stealth next weekend so can always ask them then

    Hi all I've got a rebuilt head minus lifters and I've also got a set of 268 cams going in , question is should I use new lifters or use the old ones . The lifters have done around 115,000 miles If I do need new lifters I'd like to use ina ones so where's the best / cheapest place to get them ? Ebay sell them for 76 quid for 12 Any advice apriciated
