cheap sumbitch lookin 4 free advice

ok- at the risk of gettin flamed and mamed if i buy brand new BARE heads what parts (in general NOT BRAND SPECIFIC)will be needed and what are some good questions to ask distributor-yes i am talking about 175cc china knock offs also what sort of machining should i expect -with out of the box aluminum ready to run heads between $1100.00-$1350.00 can $498.00 bare alum.new castings save enough to make a difference .the valves i want are manley pro flo they are $55. for 8 ,so that alone adds $110.00 -my target is $850.00 less rockers because the other name brand heads aren't shipped with rockers either.please leave politics out of this one and concetrate on CHEAPNESS-i am a CHEAP BASTARD as evidenced by the 68 CENT pilot BUSHING used so i could keep the same 4cyl T-5 !!LOL

Be carefull about using valves that were not offered with whatever heads you want. The back angle of the intake and exhaust valves can help or hurt a head depending on what the head was designed with. You would be surprised what difference there is between a 10 degree and a 12 degree back angle in some heads.
Also, tapered stems like the pro flow and others can cause more turbulence than straight stems.
How's that for free advice??

clear and consice -couldnt be better

I have a set of TMD heads ( Pro Comp) 210 cc. You will need to clean up the valve cuts a bit. Other than that mine were very nice. All machine areas right on.

basicly, you want to know what you need after you buy the heads?

you need

push rod guide plates
studs
valves
valve locks
valve springs
valve spring retainers
and they should have guides and seats.

thats pretty much it.

You get what you pay for................
