Default Valve Train

Someone told me I have to do a valve train upgrade if a want to do a cam. Is this true? I'm going to use a 224/224 114, so it's not a monster cam. What's involved with the valve train upgrade? Is it very expensive?

not true, but it depends on the cam. You should be fine. Usually what they do is just replace the springs, which is easy to do and does not take much time and does not cost a whole lot :D :cheers:

what's the lift? When in doubt, always change the springs to beefier ones. It's cheap insurance as long as your going in there.
