how about giving it a good solid cleaning while its out of the engine bay. Make it look nice and clean.

How about some Sick Nasty Cams in those heads? I went with the XE270 grind and they are pretty sick nasty sounding. If you want to check out a video that I have of my cams here they are

Just remember to get everything off before you pull, because having stuff dangle is a bi**h

hmmm would be a nice time to just rebuild it. order your self a forged rotating assembly and rebuild kit and youll be set for along time.


id definatly pull the pan and clean the inside of the motor along with the outside which will give you an idea of how its hanging in there. check cylinder wear as well as areas of excessive build up.
