hello guys, im new here to the forum and have a question
I have a 1965 fairlane 500 2dr. hardtop with a 289, my stock heads are really tired and pretty much beat, but i recently came across somebody selling a set of rebuilt heads with all new components (springs, seats, valves, stem seals, etc.)
my question is, the valves on the new head are protruding a lot more through the actual valve springs than original, probably about 3/8" more, and i am just wondering what if i will have to change anything when i put my rockers on from my old heads, not too familiar with valvetrain so if anyone could help me out that would be greatly appriciated
if it helps any the heads i bought are original 69 ford heads from a 302, just freshly rebuilt,
THANKS!
