Hmmmm ..let’s wait for Ronnie’s reply and see how f the rotten comes out lol
 
Haha; yes to do it right, it isn't a cheap undertaking but it's worth it.

Hardened pushrods were included with the original Striker orders. If they weren't included with yours for some reason, you will also need shorter (hollow) pushrods 7.400" long, which are 6mm shorter than the stockers. For reference, the Beehive springs that came with the Strikers are 30 pounds more (closed) and 50 more pounds (open) than o.e.m.

Also, you mentioned your engine has been apart before, so I'd strongly suggest new o.e.m. head bolts as the stockers are only good for 3 pulls before they are stretched-out, by design, and can no longer provide full clamping force.

The little bolts across the top row can be reused, as they are a different material than the big ones.
I think I will do Head Stud Kit. I will get John at Southeast Performance to do all machining as well.

Judy insisted on calling me a "Pussy" and I told her that wasn't quite accurate.

So I went to a friend for advice but he just kept repeating: "If I Only Had a Brain".

The Heartless Tin Man couldn't offer any solutions either, though surprisingly he said we should quit Ho'ing up this thread.

We'll have to wait to talk to Oz to sort this mess out.

What the projected completion date … Plum crazy KIWI needs to lol again ..

By the way when will mini me kiwi be finished ?
 
John at Southeast Performance has sourced the block and all the parts. His favourite parts to build with. Custom Cam design by him, so it will be good/bad/mean/outragous/nasty/evil/wicked. Well you get what I am trying to say. Yeah it is a few extra dollars but the result will be a 1000hp strong engine that should be about 700hp. So plenty of strength and reliability in reserve. I won't be worried about it when I am out for a drive.
