I got camshaft COMP Cams kit 12-305-2 [49] http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=69&sb=2Due to I need to replace my old valves, so please tell me, what Overall Valve Length should I buy? Because it's not stock camshaft at all, and I'm not sure about stock (4.911 in.) valve length. | | | Re: SBC repair | Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 753 old hand | old hand Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 753 | Even withe shipping costs, a new crate engine might be the best option.. I have gotten engines from Europe and shipping wasn't cheap but I could live with it. Judging from the bottom end grenading, the top end probably isn't too happy. By time you get pay for all the other parts plus shipping and pay for the machine work, gaskets and assembly, is it going to be that much cheaper? I would do a crate engine. Good luck with it whatever you decide.

Other hand I want to buld engine by myself - I understand that I may spend more money and time, but process is more important for me. And other big success - I have all machine works with half price discount | | | Re: SBC repair | Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 753 old hand | old hand Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 753 | In that case I would rebuild everything. New valves, springs, guides, seals and keepers on the cylinder heads. You might consider a stroker kit for the engine too. It would come with everything you need for the rebuild. Have a new engine internally with another 50 HP and 100 LB/FT of torque. Go big or go home. lol.
