Your machinst putting all those in? The price of springs, valves, guides, and cams are what shed me away from the 4v. Glad to see you are doing this though. If I had the funds, I would go built 4v and take my time. Just looking forward to seeing yours man. Can't wait.

I paid 200 bucks for a set of 32 valves and 32 springs. 100 bucks for the seals and I found a set of 32 bronze valve guides from modular head shop for 189.00 that ill probably order tomorrow. Most of the money will be spent on getting 32 valves a valve job lol most engine heads dont have that many valves.
