    ...movement...

    Just confirming this is all going ahead...

    Money is in the US safe and sound, exchange rate for the purchase was $.71AUD to the USD.

    International money transfer cost has added $5.50AUD to each order, had to do it in two steps due to transfer limits etc.

    The last of the cores should get to me by the end of this week and I will start canvassing options to get the to BDE.

    Will keep you posted!

    No worries mate ask away. I have all the cores now, so need to work on an economical way to get them to the US within a reasonable time frame.

    The order won't be released until cores or core charge are received, will keep you informed!

    You don't need to match valve springs to cam sprockets. Better off buying cams and valve springs as a set, what cams are you using?

    In that case don't worry about valvesprings until you do the cams. Uas can supply you with suitable springs as used in their builds.

    You can change springs with the heads bolted on?

    ?

    I am confused....

    You need to change your springs when changing to high lift cams. In the case of most high lift cams you need to relieve the cam recess anyway to accomodate larger cam lobes. So heads out.

    No point changing springs unless you are upgrading cams.

    Domestic Freight

    Our new sprockets are ready to go, and the cores should be received within the next six days...

    So we will be getting these very soon.

    The new sprockets ship ex USA two pairs per box. Does anyone want to get them sent direct and save on domestic freight?

    Jinxed and Mattz does one of you want to put your hand up to receive the WA ones?

    Black beast we can share and get them sent to a mutually convenient location... pickup from JP?
