Anyone know of a site I can order some buckets for my Cams? I live on an island overseas so getting parts isn't an easy task. I don't know how many are going to need to be replaced so that makes it even worse. I think there $8 a shot!
The buckets sit on top of the valve springs, when the cam lobe hits the bucket it pushes open the valve.
The best way to do this is install the cams into the head and use a feeler gauge to see what height bucket you need, then talk to someone at a place like McNew's and buy the ones you need.
What stage are the cams?

There FR Stage II cams. I have been told that not all of them need to be changed out. Is that a true statement?
Usually there are only a couple you have o switch out, I know some people who didn't even have to change one bucket. That's why it's best to drop them in and see what you have to play with.

Thanks for that explanation. What happens if you have the wrong size in?

If the buckets are to tall they could cause your valves to come in contact with your pistons. If they are to short you will get insufficent valve opening and your performance will suffer.
