hey there,
Im lookin to upgrade my valves, springs etc. i am mechanicly inclined, only not with performance parts. My valves leak, i figured since the seals need replaced, i may as well upgrade..I dont know know exactly what to look for, as in brand sizes etc... can anytbody lead me in to the right direction..thank you

ya, i was looking at the valves and they are oversized. thank you alot.
another question, my supra smokes on a cold start, a big cloud of white smoke just for like 1 minute if that. and also everytime I shift under i pressure. does this sound like valve seals?

ferrea valves are really good.

if you want a cheap, effective solution, just disassemble the head (you will need a valve spring compressor, large C-clamp type.) label all the valves, springs, retainers, lifter buckets, shims and keepers in ziplock bags, then polish the valves and lap them yourself (several online tutorials for this, just check to make sure the valves dont have excessive play in the valve guides.)

i saved a good 300 bux doing my own, and all my valves hold 20+inches of vacuum.

u can also do a valve spring upgrade by getting the BBC inner springs from comp cams and install them instead of stock ones. more seat pressure and its about 60 bux for 24 of them (they are sold in sets of 12, hm, wonder why....?)

i have a buddy with some ferrea valves in his 7m head, and they look titties tho.
