Any problem with this setup?
I have a 00 frc, so it's an LS1.
I'm actually in the middle of a cam swap right now, g5x1 with 918 springs. I just found a set of newer ls2 243 heads. I bought em at an insane deal. Now, I've got these 918 springs, should they work on these ls2 heads even though i'm using non sodium filled valves(as in the 243 z06 heads)? Is there a problem with using a heavier valve and using the 918 springs?
Also, I ordered gm layered steel head gaskets and gm head bolts... will my 7.4 pushrod length fit still? Using stock lifters, no the ls7.
I'm pretty sure all of this will still work, i just want reassurance.
