   I bought this block http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=387083
   
   Was just looking at 708 for it and the lad selling them said they wont fit into a jp4 head ?
   But it's already got j4 camshafts so I assumed j4 708s would fit
   All help really appreciated
   And some ideas of what parts to buy for the engine would help I want a healthy quick pug

   they will fit but the cam lobes do not sit properly on the valve followers
   The cat cam 1322705 are the same profile but are correct for the head. You will need better valve springs though. VTS ones will do!

   same price as the 1321708 so if you have the jp4 head its really a no brainer to buy the ones that will wear evenly on the cam lobes.
