Just talked to David at Clearwater Cylinder heads (Odessa) told him what I want to do and said he can do exactly what I want, brand new heads for not a bad price, definitely what I want to do!

 

My new set of springs is not beehive, it's the spring with dampner type.

$7ea from Hughes but I'll give em to you for $4ea
But I recommend just buying the complete assembled heads.

If you get the monster magnum heads you don't need to specify anything other than cam lift. They already come with one piece 2.02 stainless valves.

Are you missing anything? You have or getting new hardened pushrods, and new lifters? There's always more to add-on but I think those 2 are pretty important.

 

You'll lose a little in the bottom end but the 2.02s will pick up a little performance above 3500 rpm.

No idea about the difference in flow rate.

Dave built my heads, they are good people to deal with. So how much are they gonna cost? Last I checked they were going for $1050 pair

1997JollyGreenGiant has a set of EQ 2.02s in the DF user classifieds for only $500, they have very little use and have a fresh valve job. I would definitely buy those if I was in the market.

EQ (Engine Quest) is the Aussie company that casts the new beefier magnum heads.
Odessa/Clearwater, and a heap of other companies big and small use these castings... they machine and port to their own and/or customer spec's.
Regardless of who works them, they're better than the Chinese cast knockoffs, and the stock heads.
Odessa have a reputation for being the cost effective source for EQ's.

 

Oh okay man, I appreciate it but I think I might do what you said and just purchase the heads with the springs already in the heads.

I talked to David at Clearwater and said that I should be fine with stock pushrods and lifters but I might do what you said and get some hardened pushrods here.

I do want to but his heads, but I'm just worried about how that pushrod ate up that one side of the head. Nothing against him or anything, it just worries me and if I do buy brand new heads I get the 5/year warranty also, although saving $400 would be great and more than halfway getting my intake manifold...

 

Ahh gotcha, I kinda had David actually explain that to me on the phone and one of the first questions I asked him was concerning if they were chinese heads or not, lol.

 

I'm sorry I meant to add that he said with 2.02, 1 piece valves, stronger springs would be $880.00 shipped to the door.

 

Thanks for the shoutout Beeker!!! I actually sold the heads a week or 2 ago to a guy with a 2wd rc/sb Dakota. He's building an engine up for it and wasn't concerned about the damage. The damage from that valve was why I was selling them so cheap. Like Beeker said, they had work done to them and the machinist had checked them out.

Dean98ram1500, I still have the camshaft that's perfect for Beeker's springs, you can PM me an offer if you like. It's the Hughe's HER0814AL and I'd give you a good price. I've also got some High Performance roller lifters, but I might want to hold onto those myself

 

Which one?
