Head Question

DiabloLX · 11-06-2001, 04:50 PM

Ordering a set of heads tomorrow, AFR 165 or TW not sure yet.
My question is regarding the roller rockers. I’m definitely getting stud mount 1.6 FMS but not sure on how to properly adjust them once installed. Can anyone remember if they came with instruction, or if anyone has time explain the process?????
Also planning on painting the valve covers yellow. What’s a good paint to use that will withstand the heat and occasional cleaning with engine cleaner and high pressure hose?????

Really appreciate any advice, Thanks

Both are great heads and flow about the same....AFR's are more$$ and TFS have more portability. I love mine. I think that any hi-temp paint will work ok. Engine cleaner is a beotch though....not sure about that. You might want to look into a rebuild first though...120K is risky with that power, and with that mileage, you will be lucky to hit 285-290 rwhp. Your tolerances are probably off, and your rings and bearigs are prolly worn also.....better safe than sorry.
