Just make sure you give the bolt a healthy squirt of PB blaster a couple times with those good vibes. Curious to see if it works for anyone else or if I just got lucky. Last time though I broke an Allen bit then used that method and they came off.

you can also heat up the bolts to loosen them but you can fry the gears if you arent careful. sometimes there is no other way especially if you round out the head. ive also welded sockets onto the bolt then broke them loose that way.

Heating makes me nervous on plastic gears. Idk. I'll try an impact tomorrow, if it doesn't work ill grind it or drill it. Not to stressed over drilling it. Any input on valves gents? I'm thinking GSC or Supertech.

Uhhhh...... I mean technically probably nothing, however, why not build everything while its apart? When supertech valves are similarly priced to Oem stuff.

dude drilling takes 10-15mins total.

I hit them with the impact a couple times, then breaker bar with a longer pipe on it for 1-2mins. If that doesn't work get your drill and go at it.

Disregard. I like all the supporting evidence on behalf of H beams.

I've read thread after thread on here of people successfully using H beams with some ARP fasteners and having good reliable power levels upwards of 600. There are equally as many supporting discussions on I beams though.

I'll be honest, m not that much of a nut that would take it so far as to getting into the engineering aspect of it. I Mean maybe a little but nothing crazy lol.

Lol I know I've got problems, I would like to but oh well. If you don't want problems then go with a proven rod there are several. Carrillo h beams, BC I beam, pauter x beams, Manley turbo tuffs. Won't have any problem with any of them. I picked the BC I beam because out of those its the cheapest.

I'm doing supertech for a few reasons. I've used them before, they are a good quality name in valve train manufacturers, the price point isn't to bad, Inconel is more but I think it's worth it.

Anyone else w/ valve suggestions?

Upon disassembly of the old motor I found this little gem of an oil pump. Finally an answer to my phantom oil leak.

I like ferrea too but I don't see any problem with supertech. I also think the inconel is worth it. I've been wondering if the stock exhaust valves are inconel for 2007+ they are pretty expensive while the intakes are cheap.
That sucks with the pump. Guess it doesn't matter now lol.

I have and I can get a great deal on them. I just keep reading things that say H beams are plenty strong then I see I beams are the way to go. Ah! Why do. have so many rods on my mind. . . . . . . Any takers on that one? Lol.
