| Need some heads up info on your car? Pelican Parts has all that you need! Proper valve adjustment helps to keep power up (to beat those Mustangs off the line), and also keeps the valve train noise down. Always remember to follow the factory recommendations regarding valve adjustment, otherwise you might end up with a situation like our Pelican tech article, Rendezvous With a Dropped Valve Seat. WARNING, this article is not for the faint of heart! |

Intake Valves  |
| A critical part of any head rebuild is new OEM intake valves. Many times valves can be reground and reused, however if your valves are too worn to be re-used, Pelican can supply you with the needed parts for your rebuild. |

Hydraulic Lifters  |
| Whenever you replace the camshaft, you should replace the lifters as well. As with any moving part, they wear down, so installing a new camshaft with old lifters can cause premature wear on your camshaft. |

Valve Springs |
| Valve springs are used to keep tension on the intake and exhaust valves, thus preventing them from hitting the tops of the pistons. It's a good idea to replace worn out springs during any head rebuild. |
