    Whatever you want really. LOL. Also get rid of the oil squirters. They are gonna hit the pistons and the counter weights on the crank. Golden eagle makes the oil squirter plugs.

    theres no need to delete the squirters. i left them in there. i rotated the cylinder, there was plenty of clearence and i've put 1000 miles on the motor. just fried a valve from nitrous though so i'm doing a little work to the head. just wanted to know what i could get away with.

    Use whatever cams you want. Get some upgraded springs to go along with them and get a tune.

    I'm not sure if you knew at the time but I'll be a whole lot of money that they are hitting, or used to be before they got beat. Or they are constantly robbing power. Its not just me, look it up they need to be modified to clear. They hit the lower side of the piston and counter weight on the crank. And there is only plenty of clearance on 2 cylinders...

    i checked the cylinder , turned the motor over several times to see if they would hit. i did bend them a tiny bit, but after they were bent there was about a centimeter of clearence on all cylinders between counter weights and squirters as well as piston and squirters. i turned the motor over several times to see if either would hit and neither did. i'm about to pull the bottom end back apart and i'll check them again, all i did was bend them down a hair.

    your engine is going to tare through some rings. you should never turn the engine over more than once while assembling. it tears away your assembly lube.
