Well, I finally got my ATS stroker for my camry/MR2 project. My first two questions are, what vavle angles would be best to get with HKS 264 cams, and what's the best company to get valves from?

angles i am not to sure about. but i have heard good things about ferrara valves from what i am told they last longer then the motor. there is a place called race engineering its in Ft Lauderdale Fl. if you call them they can help you out with your angles and what valves you want. they helped me out with my pistons and rods and they really good prices. their website is raceng.com they are a bunch of genius'

At atsracing.com I've seen most of the MR2's with .5mm oversized valves being used and one 2mm on aarons. I just dont know what size to get or which is best.

I've asked him about a week ago, but its hard to get a hold of him

did you call? I find that is the easiest way to get ahold of them. They are pretty busy, so emailing them does take a little bit to get a response.

ok, One of the twins said to get 1mm oversized, which I have on the way from Ferrea. Now I need retainers, keepers, seals.

Hmm....Is there anything else I'm forgetting? Sorry, I have long and rough days at work, so alot of the stuff I know of kinda fade in my brain due to the crap I go through at Firestone on a daily basis.

Little things like the cam seals, missing a 3mm shim from one of the lifters and some studs and bolts are obvious that I need to replace.

BTW, the GT35R turbo is still on the list of things to get, but I wanted a ball bearing turbo that can produce equal or more HP as the GT35. Anybody have any options?

who makes some good retainers for the 3sgte?
