   this year im planning on spending a bit more money on my engine. i am running ph3s at the moment but not too clued up on the bigger cams yet. im wanting to have hi comp pistons and rods/bolts so i can run much bigger cams. one thing i wanted to know, when you are running bigger cams say ph4 or ph5 what else do you need head wise to run these type of cams? thankyou

   PH4s will cope with a hydraulic valve clearance but the PH5s will need solid lifters and need shimming out to set the valve clearance. Rebated pistons (high compression) will be needed for both.

    On topic. ph5s need solid lifters etc.... ph4s can be run with hydros as said, id chuck some rods in aswell if going mega high. Either that or id run catcam 734s is staying hydro.
