I'm researching upgrading my stock engine to an SE 103" build. I know a lot of you mix and match various brands of engine parts to tweak performance. I'd like to stay all SE with my engine (I'm abrand-loyalist). Has anyone modified their engine using only SE parts? Head, tappets, push rods, etc. I'm interested to hear your feedback. Are/were you satisfied?
Also, what does a tappet do? What's the difference between stock and SE tappets? What is the difference between stock and SE push rods?
Has anyone installed the SE triple-platinum spark plugs? How are they compared to stock? Does installing them require any modification to the ECM?
