cant wait to get these things installed.
question though, when installing these do i have to have the piston at top dead center? or can i install the springs without doing that?

I think you need to ask in the Adv forum, or take it to a shop. Not something I would just jump into.

Yes, the piston must be at TDC otherwise when you remove the valve springs the valve falls into the cylinder meaning you have to pull the head to get it out.
Or...
Go to an autoparts store and get an air compressor fitting that goes into the spark plug hole so that the air in the cylinder holds the valve in place. I've never used one, but I know its possible. Ask in the Advanced Tech section, someone will know.
my friend will know what to do, he is going to help me do it, was just thinking if all i had to do was basicly just unbolt and replace i could just do it myself.
but the cost for everything...
rocker arms were like 415
springs were 120
retainers where like 35
and because the weather is finaly starting to cool down after i get the install, im gonna make a trip to the dyno and see what kindof numbers im putting down
