Clean and resurfaced heads
(Sorry about the size of the pics) Just got my heads back today from a local machine shop. I have YT rockers, and yellow springs to put in. Do I need to buy new stock pushrods for my 97 to complete the swap? Where is the best place to buy ARP bolts instead of the stock bolts?
TIA

did you mill the heads? how much? 97 heads (mine castings were 806's wich are the first produced and rare) had the largest combustion chamber which accounts for the 9.9 :1 compression the first yrs as they had a 68 cc chamber. The following 853 heads had 67 cc chambers as did the 241's I believe. THe ls6 were 64 cc which is why they have 10.5:1 compression.
i think you will be fine with the stock push rods
i have yt w/ sims and no problems maybe b/c i milled the heads .030 or so
my wipe pattern was good and the 1.8 yt's have been great.
ARP bolts can be had from MPH Motorsports, a great forum vender. Beats Summit, helps the forum, and if you get stuck or have a question, BAM you get an ls1 expert not some guy selling parts that drives a civic.
Now, get that thing back together and have some fun!
