Notes on Installation: Requires clearanced head, upgraded dual valve springs, and INA PD lifters. When you machine the head you may need to cut the valve pockets down 2-3 thousandths.
Different rod and piston combinations will increase or decrease your clearance, which is why it must be measured and corrected upon installation.ย
We recommend using aย camshaft locking plateย during installation. We have been told that on 1Z & AHU engines that it is essential.
Measure coil bind of the stack assembly visually before operating the engine!
Failure to measure coil bind, camshaft clearances, valve to piston clearances and head spacing will void the warranty and can result in camshaft damage, spring damage, valve damage, piston damage and potentially ruin an engine!
