408 hyd roller, too much spring pressure?

Yes, this is a Chrysler website. And Magnum heads have . . . wait for it . . . But you made the blanket statement about geometry, not me.

US$64 for 8 valves (assume we're only swapping the intakes). The last set of Manley intake valves (x8) I bought cost around US$150 plus delivery and tax. The last set of heads I had re-lined and valve-cut with additional work to narrow the valve guides cost around US$450 – and that was considered a decent price.

You guys have no idea what we pay for parts and machining over here. Not to mention the OP, who lives in Sweden.

You appear to have a very narrow view of the world. And I'm not offended. In Australia, we tend to call it like it is. Which is all I have done.

Now, you go back to your gilded workshop with its exotic Ti valve gear and US$8 valves and I'll keep working on my cars with the resources I have. As I said earlier: horses for courses.


I never said you can buy an 8 dollar valve here. I said the difference in COST between a cheap assed replacement valve and a decent valve is 8 bucks. A replacement valve (as an example) is 12-13 dollars. A good valve is 20 bucks. 20 minus 12 is 8. Simple math.

Your economy is YOUR issue. If you can’t afford to do it right, cobble it up? I guess so, but I don’t work that way.

So I’ll assume the next time someone has a rocker hitting a spring you’ll be on here telling the dude to drop some BH’s on there and I’ll explain (as I always do) how stupid that is.

Use what you want, but I haven’t seen a single report that a BH has “better harmonics”. Better than what?

Unsubstantiated claims are just that.
