I got a set of FRPP hot rod cams and I'm going to install them this winter but need to do a few things while I'm in there. On startup after the car has sat for a few days I get a puff of blue smoke so I most likely need a set of valve seals. The car just hit 100k miles so since I'll have it opened up to do the cams and seals I figured I might as well just pull the heads, lap the valves and replace the lash adjusters/rocker arms and replace all the timing components.
I want to be able to rev it out to 7k safely. Would all new OEM timing/head components and a new oil pump be ok or should I use a different brand? I get all OEM parts at cost so it wouldn't hurt the wallet to to that route but I'd rather spend a couple hundred bucks more to do this than pop the motor.
Any advice is appreciated.
