[Syty] Roller Rockers...

[DOlivares]

What model/brand?

I think 3.8L Buick (LC2 engine) uses the same valve gear as the Chevy 350 and the 4.3L Vortec uses Chevy 305 gear... or is it the other way around?

I've read alot of stories about people being less then satisfied with McCoy heads.  I've never had them, but here's one story.

I went with stock vortec's, you could always look into having a set worked over.

I've never put rollers on any of my heads yet, but a couple buddies have on their Sy's and IIRC they used the stock pushrods without any problems.

HTH,

  My 'Clone's valve guides and/or seals have had it and I gotta do something before the EPA-cops give me a ticket!  After coming to a stop at a light or sign-- once the oil warms up... even 5W50!-- after a cruise, I get ENVELOPED in a pillar of cloud that is reminiscent of Moses and the boys running around in the desert!  This problem just crept up on me during the past few months and I gotta do something fast.

  Naturally, for me, a simple valve-seal repair isn't good enough.  Here's my chance to pop-in my new injectors, convert to rollers, and maybe even swap the heads!  Anybody know anything about McCoy's "Stage 2" heads, now on sale for $495 (a pair or each?) and why they're so much cheaper than the Stage 1s?

  Anybody have any luck swapping-in ROLLER-ROCKERS, with new or reused pushrods, on a stock set of heads?  (I did a Crane-swap-out on my TTA many years ago-- Chevy self-centering units-- only to break 2 of 'em when my CPU or ignition system went berserk and misfired the whole engine and shredded my TCC....)

  Thanx in advance,

  D.O.
