ok i ve decided to get the head from hypsy from patriot with hte oversized vavlves and im guessing that everything else is OEM stuff and there has been a thread on the springs locks and retainers, so what i was wondering is what you guys went with from that? i know madjack has the crane gold race roller rockers but nothin else is perfromance maybe?

so what have you guys found that would work for the springs retainers n locks?

would the magnum roller rockers be fine what is better about the race ones?

ill be going turbo later so what would the best choices be?

For your own good, I'm not going to answer any of those questions. Instead I will instruct you to look through the valve spring and rocker threads. The answers to all your questions lie in those threads.



fortune cookie say:
better a delay than a disaster.

true but which of those products have people accually used?

The whole 2200 valves/springs/retainers/locks/lifters/cams issue is a giant CF right now. Alot of people including OHV up there have been working on finding suitable parts to work with higher lift cams since alot of people fall into the trap of buying JBP's stage two lift cam and EFF up their valvetrain. Thats the whole "2200 valve springs" page in a nut shell. This is an ongoing subject and has issued many threads and even less answers. I believe the best thing they have found so far is to mill out the valve spring seat as to make for more clearence on the lift, but, as boring as it sounds, take a read through that page. I already started typing this, so I cant copy it and go find a link to that thread and copy that and repost them both ; / I got the same head, stage 2 from Patriot, through Ryne, and if i break mine in first, which i hope so since i ordered mine like 2 weeks before you did, ill let you know how it is.

What he said.


There is a wealth of information in those threads that you would need to read before asking more questions.
