whats the benefit of upgrading to these cams, and the aem gears?

mines was leaking oil and coolant. i replaced the valves gaskets and the coolant was leaking from one of the coolant lines on the throttle body. just replace the valve gaskets and while your at it (if you havent) replace the spark plugs,plug wires. hope this helps

i see what your saying.and its true what your saying,if the surface is that eroded then what i cant see is probally worse. im going to try and see if tubbie has any used decent heads available. thanks for the input,appreciate it

GOT DAMN. NICE BRO NICE!

this shit is annoying. i just got the compressor tool from discount auto and i was able to take off two of the valve spring assemblies. i just cant take out the valve stem seals. i've been trying to use needle nose pliers but i just cant get it to come out. any tips?

atleast you guys are being real. the bolts are actually in order thats why there lined up like that.....

wat would you suggest?

im seriously thinking of going na-t. using turbo electronics. my goals would be at least 250rwhp. i just want something that is fast but at the same time a daily driver. right now im in the middle of a BHG job so it would be a great start. you think a oem head gasket from toyota would be able to...
