Last few things before cam swap... Well it's about that time. After almost a year of waiting im finally putting in my 306. But i have a few questions about the heads and roller rockers so take a look! So far i have...
CC306
Comp 918's
Comp 10 degree Steel retainers
Comp LT1 Sping Locators for 918's
Comp 10 Degree Valve Locks
Comp 11/32 Valve Stem Seals
GM Performance Parts Oil Pump w/White Spring and Late 94 Pickup
Trickflow Chromoly Pushrods 7.200"
95+ vented opti
95 Opti Wire Harness
95 Opti Vac Harness
95 Timing Cover
Cloyes Double Roller
Meziere Electric Water Pump
Others:
New Auburn Posi
Power Transfer Parts 3.73's
TCI SSF 3500
Hayden Trans Cooler
Complete 10bolt Refresh Kit
When i bought my car in November of 2005 it had 20k miles on the fresh 355. They guy told me he had the block resurfaced and a valve job done along with the rebuild. Would you guys think i would have any iston to valve clearance issues with this cam or am i safe?
Also since i dont know anything other than the car has has roller rockers on it from the build i will probably just updrade to Comp magnum 1.6's. Should i buy SA or NSA?
Should i get 7/16 or 3/8 screw in studs?? If i get the NSA RR's what guide plates should i use?
These are the last few things im trying to get sorted out by the first week of December. Thanks in advance guys!

I was ready to slide my new cam in a found the front bearing worn out. It would be insane to install a higher performance cam with heavy springs on worn bearings. I have now pulled the engine for total bearing replacement and refresh.

Yeah im pulling the motor for the swap incase i need to refresh some bearings, but i hope i dont have to since the 355 only have 40k on it now.
Im also going to take a look at the main and rod bearings while its out.
