how do you feel about roller set ups? my father and i have firebird with a 400 in it and we need to do the cam and lifters i want to go with a roller system but im not sure if it will be worth all the extra parts do we need to go with new valve springs and rockers as well as valves if we change to a roller cam/lifters?

Should you reestablish TDC each time you adjust your timing chain to a different key way? Great video helped me a lot!

For those of us who have never seen the Sims roller bearing retainer plate – your explanation is spot on. Pretty sure he DOES still sell them on the PY forum. Nice videos' btw.
