New rods, lifters, valve springs, and valve guides.

We just used some bar stock and welded ball bearings to the end.

Just driving it down the road rolled up to a stop sign. Pulled away from the stop sign and it let go.

Tom,

It could be salvaged but didn't we had a set of heads laying around we had rebuilt.

When we pulled the driver head off it had a valve spring that was loose enough to spin by hand so it was about to go also.

Truck has WAY more pep now than it did before the seat let loose.
