L 92's Bare or Complete Has anyone purchased the l92's bare and assembled them yourself?
I would like to go with the Comp Cam beehive spring so I can get the additional lift if I want it later. Complete they are only good up to .510 . The upgraded l92's are an extra buck. Is it worth doing your own or buying the upgraded ones. Thanks

i did my own,
$203 x 2=($406) each bare L92 heads
$150 gm valves/seals/retainers/keepers
$175 PAC racing 1218 springs
$7 x 8=($56) stock intake rockers
$12 x 2=($24) L92 rocker stands
-------
$811 total,, cant beat that for a pair of complete heads that flow what these do

How much lift are you running with your combo? Do you know if the stock rockers will work using .600" lift? Where did you get the valves from? Nobody has stainless valves to fit these heads listed in a parts catalog...

.65x/.64x on the lift. FTI custom grind. Valves are Ferrea (sp?) from FTI as well. And Ive seen nothing to suggest that the stock rockers cant handle that lift, either in articles, or during mock up. I'm still looking for a set of L92/Ls3 roller tips.

I forgot to ask what material/type are the valves made from (stainless, titanium, stock, sodium filled, hollow, etc...)?

the L92 valve seals/seats will leave you with a 1.750 installed height.
still great option, just a little bit of porting really fix em up.
actually mine came out to 1.78" installed height with the stock L92 seals in place after lapping the valves to the heads, so im only .020" tighter than if i set them up at 1.800", all i know is these heads really woke up this 6.0 from 4000rpm up
