Default My PRC 265s just showed up

I am very impressed with the quality so far.
Should hopefully bolt them on tomorrow along with a Torquer 110

I decided to keep the chambers at 70cc. Didn't want to risk detonation with the lovely fuel we have in CA.

Would it be too much to ask if you could possibly get john's tool to measure some parts on the head so we know how an aftermarket cast measures up to the stock we are measuring?

also, going to go with stock rockers or rollers?

I wouldn't mind using his tool for the greater good.

I am going to bolt on the stock rockers and see what the geometry looks like and go from there.

I would at least do a trunion upgrade...those heads deserve that.

excellent! i dont know where his tool is though, can you pop him a PM and see if it would fit your time constraints?

mainly i want to see where your valve lines up and rocker pedestal heights compared to the stock 'bad' heads.

Hopefully the tool will be here in Hawaii tomorrow. My spark plugs are out, coil packs off, all tools at the ready, a Vacation day taken and fingers crossed.

You'll love the results!!

One of the best things I did for my Z was installing the PRC265s. My geometry was textbook and they flow like gang busters!

Go with the NW throttle body and the FAST 102 then you too will become a torque addict.

Peace of mind alone is worth the price...

I can always do it later. Just need to pop a valve cover and a rocker.
