I swear that I was reading a post in this section called "The Truth about AFR 220's" and now I can't find it. I've searched for it in recent and archived stuff and nothing. Has anyone else seen this or knows where it went and why or have I just been smoking too much crack today??? :eek:

I had a post dissapear too. I posted just before the server move, so it may not have been backed up.

I know exactly what thread you're talking about and I can't find it either! :nonod:

I'm the one who posted it...yeah, where did it go? I know I got an error message one saying they were changing site servers, wonder if it didn't get copied over? Oh well.

To recap the thread, here were the issues:

-pushrod clearance issues

-1.550" springs hanging over head bolt holes (had to remove all the exhaust springs to install heads...or remove them for that matter)

-Valve covers were a real pain...I use jesel shaft mounts and had to go with the Moroso fabbed valve covers and have them heavily modded to work (i.e., cut and weld cover so it would fit under the alternator, clearance area around gasket to allow for proper head-gasket contact.

-smog pump piping on passenger's side had to be modded to clear valve cover (I actually pulled the smog off the car...no smog inspection in kansas)

-clearance valve covers for pushrods...they just do touch the inside gasket.

Here's the big question. Do the 210's also have these bad effects like the 220's or are they ok. I'd like to have a set of 210's ported and slap those on now that I know the 220's are a pain. But if the 210's are the same I guess I'm screwed either way.

I don't have any experience with the 210s, sorry. I do know the AFR 220 & 227 heads are cast and/or machined differently...
