More valve lift clearance on Vortec heads?
Hi all,
I'm putting together a Gen 1 350 for my 67 El Camino using Vortec 062 heads. I've researched a bunch and have decided to use the LS1 springs and Comp Cam retainers so that I can get more lift without the retainers hitting the seals. This works without any machining at all. I'm wondering if anyone has a brand and part number for seals that work with this setup.
Or, alternatively, if someone knows the diameter of the valve guides on 062 vortecs, the guy at Summit Racing said he could pick out the right seals with that info.
Thanks a lot in advance!
