Another 977 / CompR question I am getting some 5.3L Stage II heads made at absolute speed. With the cam I am going with, Jay suggested the 977 / CompR route.
Jay said don't worry about the adjustable rockers, that he will use custom length pushrods. I shipped him my cam so he can set it up on his test engine.
Not knowing too much about internals .... does this sound right or am I setting my daily driver up for alot of downtime??
Also .. does anyone know what type of spring life I should see out of the 977s?
thanks,
Crowley

I have 7.35 PR and needed the .030 shim to get the preload right. The valve train has the common sewing machine noise but ain't bad compared to the exhaust and the Moser 12 bolt.

Jay set me up with the same thing except i have yella terra's some valvetrain noise but not to bad. I've had zero issues with my setup they have been on my car for almost a year. Don't worry he wont steer you wrong
