hmmmm...... I was just looking at those valves myself. Seem to be advertised as good stuff. Hope someone knows a little bout theses. I'm wanting to order the same set.
not sure what a salvage Magnum block costs in your area, but it may be cheaper to just get a different motor. Machine work and the sleeve here will run around 150.00 just to sleeve it, then final bore to match the other cylinders is more. I can pick up a long-block for around 200.00 and have a...
I somewhat agree that you get what you pay for. I just figured they had to meet atleast stock standards. I'll probably stay away from it, but like said, It just triggers the MSD so I thought it would be ok to run. I have a MSD now and it works great but would like to see how the procomp e-bay...

I'm sure I'm not the only one that does it, but I like to rub a little around all the passage just in case there are some imperfections in the head or intake where oil or coolant may leak out. Not sure if that helps you much, just a suggestion
