i already have a set and their off of a 350. but today i bought a set of bare 194's new in the box for 25 bucks. but my friend said their for a 305. then he told me to use the 305's with 350 valves. i plan on just swapping the valves and springs off the heads i have now. will i have any problems? and how do i get the valves and springs out anyways? i bought a spring compressor and compressed a spring and im still confused only 20 bucks poorer.
Bare 1.94 heads for $ 25?What where they?N.O.S. HEADS?I have never heard of a 305 with 1.94 heads.Are you sure they are not set up for the smaller intake valves?Quote:

no my buddy was wrong they are identical to my 350 heads. and what are N.O.S heads?
New Old Stock
yep thats what they were. the guy i bought em from didnt know what they were for but i did :)
With the spring compressed, remove the little half-circle clips that will be exposed when the retainer moves down the valve, and the valve can then come out.
yep i figured that one out eventually but what about those little rings around the valve under the half circle clips? mine broke off into 2 pieces. is this normal?
It is not broken,these are called valve locks.Quote:

so when reinstalling the valves is there a certain way to put them on? how do they stay together?
Yes the thicker part goes to the top.The retainer holds them together.Quote:

The little rings under the half moon clips are rubber stem seals, they must be replaced with new ones. Roll them down the stem just before you put the keepers back on.
You are right Pope.I misunderstood what he was asking.It has been along time since I used stock o-rings.Quote:
