This is all a bit out of my knowledge but are they purely reinforcement parts or is all this for a bit extra umph the springs and retainers ect

Springs and retainers are needed as I have higher lift /duration cams . The valves I’m changing as I have seen oem valve stems snap over 500hp so just swapped them for same size but stronger

Parts arrived ! So glad I went for these bits , quality looks immense .
Really looking forward to getting this moving again soon. Bring on the engine build








Supertech full valve set including valve stem seals , valve guides and oem size valves , already have their springs and retainers and custom cams to match up to this
Radium engineering fuel surge tank for twin internal walbro 450’s , massively overkill but rather that than not have enough plus have the safety net if one fails or I need more fuel at high revs can have it turn on at certain range .
I also picked up some mazworx anodised black billet washers for the fixings around the cam cover

That's going to be awesome cant wait to see it! Do you have to run a different fuel tank as opposed to the oem one to run this kind of set up?
No mate you can use the oem tank , you run a line to the pot from it and use an in tank pump as a lift pump to supply the pot

Naprec strengthened timing chain. Hopefully get some pics of the engine soon: picking up the cam cover in the next couple of weeks so I can paint that then hopefully next pics will be of the complete engine !

Quite a cool, different looking rocker cover that. You painting it a different colour?

Ah sweet, teal would be cool - you don’t see many colours like that popping up. White is nice but it’s quite a common choice (on any rocker cover I mean). You going to stick the stickers on it like on the one in your photo or leaving it clean?

I am leaning towards the teal tbh as a nice contrast colour would look good against all the gold and black in the bay plus I have a nice teal flake I could use to make it a bit special .
I am considering stickers or maybe airbrush them on , depends on time more than anything as usual h ha

White with gold pearl and shave the lettering off it? Would look amazing either way obviously but that cover would really suit the shaved look

Not sure about shaving the lettering as yet . I may well do and then airbrush back on what I want , make it look 3D could be quite cool
The pearl gold I have is this

I’m using it on the underside of the car and parts of the dash too so could tie it into the cam cover too.
The teal I have is similar to this depending on which base I use
