Heads setup for Solid roller, what to change for hydraulic roller (valvesprings & ?)
I have some Afr 195's that were setup for a solid roller cam. Since I am going to put them on my L98 (hydraulic roller cam), what do I need to change on the heads besides the valvesprings? I was probably going to run a XR276HR cam (.503/.510 w/ 1.5 rocker).
Thanks in advance.
Edit - It's probably unimportant but the heads have 7/16" studs and 68cc.

Does this sound right?
Comp 977 valve springs/recommended locator/titanium retainers ?
That's what the guys at Thunder Racing told me I needed to change on the Afr's so I can run the XR276

Try the Comp 987's. The seat pressure on the 977s at the given installed height are a bit high. Shim the springs if needed to get the appropriate installed height.
