- Thu Oct 28, 2010 7:06 pm #220513 I plan on doing this through the winter
But I need some help/feedback.

What else Would I have to replace?
I want to do Skunk2 Retainers and springs but if theres something else to upgrade please let me know.

I'm also doing head gasket, timing belt and gaskets
Hopefully everything goes as planned

I will keep you guys updated
All help appreciated

- Thu Oct 28, 2010 7:11 pm #220514 Just run with the S2 springs and retainers. Most cam companies design their springs and retainers to work in conjunction with their cams. Toda and Toda, S2 and S2, etc.

- Fri Oct 29, 2010 9:09 pm #220707 No need to change the valves?

I also saw somewhere that it was good to upgrqade the LMA's since the b16's lma's usually go bad.

- Fri Oct 29, 2010 9:44 pm #220716 It wouldn't hurt to change the LMAs, but only if you feel like spending another $200+.

Yeah I adjusted them, it makes them a little quiet but still kind of loud. I been searching and after changing the LMA's they say it makes a difference.

- Wed Nov 03, 2010 4:31 am #221295 pretty much just summing up what everyone else said, but springs and retainers are necessary for the longer duration and higher lift, so get at least that if you havent already. lma's are extra. you dont need valves, but depending on what what your motor goals are (na/turbo) you can get oversized and/or higher compression valves that s2 offers. as far as the regular maintenance goes, water pump, timing belt and tensioner, and head gasket is great for beginning a new build. good luck
