Default -Any chance we could ask the guy that set up your heads about my build?

Hey Pitdog, sounds like your builder knows his Rockers and head set-ups very well, and could tell me if I will have issues with my build. -Before I give up and remove my 1.7's, is there a number or email address I could contact him at? I'd be VERY grateful for some good, solid info/advice on these rockers. It's a shame to can them if they cam make power and NOT tear up my valve-train. Otherwise, next stop is Woods and a set of his cams & lifters.
-Thanks . . .

You will be making a mistake without rollers. Check the stem tops after some miles and you will see why. For a second opinion ask Bobby Wood. I have fixed many S&S 124 heads with troughed out valves.

Stood it is not really complicated.

Not counting the money, damn stuff costs, there are some very basic things that-- you know-- are the right thing to do.

Like stacking blocks, one on top of the other.

These guys here have covered all you need to know, really not majic.

sent you a pm with contact #. the guy knows his stuff, has a long history of making big power with harley's, held national drag records, and has multiple 10second street harley's out there. i've got a great head porter, engine builder right in my backyard (fairbanks motors) and he say's this other head guy is the best in the country! mr. fairbanks may be somewhat biased, although probally not far from the truth. drew fairbanks, built and tuned my engine, i had his good friend (paul matyka) set my heads up, and s&s crank to his specs.

just wanted to know what became of these mods. Did the harley upgraded arms in combo with se204 on a 103 make a beneficial gain?
