heres my build

ls block
ls wiseco 12.1:1
bored .20
golden eagle block guards
eagle rods

92 sirII head
crower +.5mm valves
skunk2 ti rerainers
skunk2 dual valve springs
3angle valve job

now this motor ran with crower stage 2s perfectly fine no clearance issues. the head hasnt been milled, but only resurfaced once.
but now i want to run crower stage 3s or skunk2 stage2s and worried about clearance issues. i have ls pistons with the ls valve reliefs and with the oversized valves i was worried about clearance issues. and i know the thing i should do is clay the motor, but the motor is finally back in after a long time and i really cant afford time to pull it out again.

any one know is the skunk2 stage 2s will be alright, or even crower 3s?

 

bump anything?

 

i really cant afford time to pull it out again.


its going to be a whole lot more expensive and take alot more time if you dont check things over.

 

bump... want to know also!

 

clay is your friend.

 

yea i fig this would be the most used answer lol

 

i dont think clearance would be a problem

 

I thought there was tons of people running 12:1 compression and Skunk2 stage 2 cams on here. Im sure you wont have a problem

 

isnt the crower3 a smaller cam than the skunk2 stage 2s???thats what i heard. anyone know before i research

S2 website says you shouldn't use the Stage 2's with oversized valves...

haha i know .: however, in all honesty, I know people who run these cams with setups simillar to yours with nothing but good things to say about clearance and performance.

There are a few other people interested in the cams so lmk what you decide !

 

you're taking a foolish approach to this. remember that the people who think it will be okay dont have anything to lose if their information is wrong. they arent doing you any favors by saying youll be fine.

do you have a valvespring compressor that bolts to the top of the head? you can use a soft spring and a 10$ dial indicator to figure it out for sure.

from what engine would i get the soft spring?

 

Here you can buy "checking" springs from most cam mfg. and after market places. If you cannot find those just use a stock "inner" spring.

 

i personally use a 6# .047" music wire spring so that my thumb doesnt wear out when depressing the rockers.

MSC part number 06812614
10 packs are $5.20
.720 OD x 2" free length .331 coil bind.

 

The guy is in Norway.

 

i think hes tring to help me out too...where do i get them

the land of the lost

i will try the inner spring trick

 

Mike can you throw in a couple of test springs with the cam degree kit? i will pay for the springs

 

my kits come with a pair of springs and BBs to lock the vtec pins.

 

sounds good. we would take the rest on email
