Hello all,
I went to check my spark plug for the begining of this season, Im from mid Michigan, and I ended up stripping the socket for the plug in the head. My fuel pump also stopped working becasue of not enough compression thus no vaccum. But I tried some teflon tape and it helped by showing the fuel pump was good but still couldnt start. I will have to try a helicoil next. Maybe this is the time to do the bbk Ive been wanting to do.
So Ive looked on scrappydog for parts, I want to do a bbk, with larger head and larger valves and the a9 cam.
Is the a9 cam worth it? And does it hurt low end alot? I dont wanna have it be a slug until it gets to higher speed.
From the looks of it, it will be about $255 dollars for those three items from scrappydog, is there a better price I can get on parts anywhere? Just seems like a lot when a new engine is about $390 online.
-Thanks
