Magnum gurus needed

Thanks. Yep, many many questions. Im actually taking the short block apart tonight and taking to IMM Engines so they can check it out.

Was thinking of going with hughes iron heads and either the hughes 218/222 roller cam or 222/226 that is 110lsa instead of the 114lsa comp cam that came with purchase. Think there would be much difference?

Lifters, pushrods, bolts will be new. Was planning on reusing rockers...anything that typically goes bad on rockers or things to look for? Do they crack or just wear in general?

Yea, just look for wear at the contact points of rocker to pedestal pivot point and both valve tip and push rod tip contact points. You will have some shine but mine seemed like little too much for me since everything else was going back new, I replaced with new ones. Or buy a good aftermarket rocker set-up, I know Hughes has something but I don't have a recommendation for aftermarket ones, never bought or used any, yet. My next engine will have a larger cam I'm thinking and I want to find rockers, maybe what folks on here recommend and whatever their experiences have been. If this is for the street, I would run that cam I got in the deal.
