Top end rebuild
Due to my lack of replies in C3, Ill try this here!
On my top end rebuild I am doing I have a couple of decicions to make yet.
I am for sure going with performer intake, staying with the stock q-jet for now. Dynomax hot jet coated headers (1 5/8ths). Adding lots of chrome bolt ons.
I think I will be going with Sportsman II heads and either the xe262 or xe268 cam. Any thoughts on this combo, which cam you would go with, or overall comments. I was thinking angled plug heads, and 64 cc chambers...is that the right way to go with the headers etc???
Also need to get gaskets and seals, fasteners, timing set, rockers, and push rods. First question is can i use the stock pushrods and rockers? I dont have any idea what kind of shape they are in other than the engine runs ok now. Second, does it matter what kind of timing set I get? Third, again does it matter what type of gaskets/seals I get?
I know there are a lot of questions there, but when I get straightened out on this stuff I will be ready to go! This is a big project for me!
