Do I need to worry about my bottom end?

[Teal3800]

I currently have a bent or stuck valve, not sure haven't taken the car apart yet, so am using it as an excuse to rebuild my top end. Some friends of mine seem worried I might blow my bottom end so figured I'd get your opinions I'm getting in:

Compcam Xtreme Energy 210/220 cam
Pro Magnum Hydrolic roller lifters
Hi-Tech 5/16" pushrods
Compcam 26925 Behive Springs
Titanium Retainers
Race Locks - 7 Degree Machined Steel
Compcam Valve seals

Also getting a 3 angle valve grind.

Mods already done are:
CAI, 3inch full exhaust, no cat, Magnaflow 3" in 2.5 dual out, pacesetter headers, torsen rear end and 3.42 gears.

Thanks in advance for your opinions

What ratio lifters are you running and what is the advertised lift on your cam

1.6 rockers and lift is 512 intake and 512 exhaust

how many miles on bottom end?

Re: Do I need to worry about my bottom end?

About 125000 Km so I think that would be about 77500 miles.

mmm it should be fine for a while as long as you don't plan on going FI or nitrous in the future...really depends on how well it was taken care of...

I always do regular oil changes and such. I do have plans to FI but not until I redo the bottom end and probably stroke it first.

Guess I could start a new thread for this but figured I'd just try asking here. Should I consider bigger injectors or should I be fine with stock? It's the only thing I didn't look into for all this.

i think stock will be fine, but bigger can' be bad :P if you have it all apart and plan on getting it tuned, then i'd go ahead and throw them in.

Re: Do I need to worry about my bottom end?

Alright well if I find some for a decent price I'll swap them then otherwise I'll try it with the stock ones.

I've got some 26.6lbs I'll let go for $20 shipped. Out of a LS1, should be a direct swap for 95-98 cars.
