Ex·tend·ed - stretched out

Valve - Any of various devices that regulate the flow of gases, liquids, or loose materials through piping or through apertures by opening, closing, or obstructing ports or passageways
So you went to school and they taught you to use a dictionary, well done.

But What do you guys think of ARP head bolts
Got some... Ask Calibrator they were a bitch to fit, had to mod a socket to fit in the head. But you can't go wrong with them, got a set from JGY Customs for $110 IIRC.

Ok Heres the Deal.

Budget is bad, but I'm trying...


Will remove the head off my Spare Motor, Its going to get the Cleaned pressure tested and so on.

It will then get the valves extended and the cams re-profiled. 264 Maybe

and ARP head bolts on the stock HG...


Any help is welcome

Sounds good to me.

Please explain these extended valves. Who is going to regrind the cam for you?? Is there any real benefit with billet over a regrind??

Billet is the best ...

A regrind is "hillbilly" but I cant find billets.

An extended valve allows you to run a regrind with what ever lift you want.
Because when they regrind they cut away from the cam.
