<DIV>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.</DIV>

<DIV>I went with stock vortec's, you could always look into having a set worked
over.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>HTH,</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>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?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>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....)</FONT></DIV>
