Default To late for h/c mods?

I have about 30k miles on my engine, and I was wondering how many miles would be to many for doing internal mods.

My first heads and cam didnt go on my car til i had 83,000 miles. Car held up fine until a valve spring let go and all hell broke loose after that. With 30K i think your all set.

Getting ready to do the h/c, headers, exhaust, moser, and clutch. Just wanted some peace of mind before I let go of the cash.

I just did heads, cam and headers a couple of thousand miles ago and I have over 60,000 miles on the car.

A good installer will inspect the motor while doing the install, for his piece of mind and yours. If you trust the installer and he finds problems, fix it right the first time.
