Just like with cams. NEVER, NEVER purchase a cam based on the information you get on this or any other forum. Many of us can get you close and you can compare cams from grinder to grinder based on the knowledge gained here, but before you lay down your hard-earned green, talk with a tech at the cam grinder, not a tech at summit or jegs.

Words of wisdom, Read and Heed!!!!

Assuming anything out of the box is correct can be a very costly assumption. Using Denny's method, it doesnt' take a whole lot of time to verify the ring gap. Same goes for the rest of the engine parts, verify the correct fit before you do the final assembly!!!!
