Any larger, like 2.1, and the pistons would more than likely require some work. Also, there is plenty of clearance from valve to piston with a b-cam. Getting a larger cam could cause problems expecially if you are going for something crazy. The guy that did the heads for me is very reputable and has put hundreds of heads with valves like mine on mustangs and with no clearance issues. Finally, don't know why we had such dire results after carefully adjusting the rockers on the first time. I can only assume that it had something to do with the lifters needing break-in. 2d time was a charm!! V/r

I just gotta tell ya how important what Dark5.0 was talking about. In ONE summer I replaced 24 valves! Think about it, there's only 16 in there!
But, that's one of the reasons we make the pony's we do. Run it up to "melt down", and then come back 1/4 turn. LOL
Glad it worked out for you!!!!
