ill be buying a new set in a few weeks. going to pull the heads soon and see if there is piston damage. If so I need to order 1 new slug. will I need to balance the rotating assembly again or can I swap the piston and install a new set of rings and be ok? I will also be lowering my compression from 11.5 to 10. I think 11.5 is a bit to high for a street engine. opinions?

another comp cams failure. i think i may rebuild this head and install new springs. what company should i use for springs? im thinking ISKY. they always did well by me. just hope it didnt damage the piston. the valve is bent so i know there was contact. **** me running.

PSI and PAC Springs are best in my books. Never have heard or read of issues with them...
