I have a S13 with a KA24DE. I recently bought a S13 head and S14 cams. Which cams would be better to grind? Also, when I get the head ported/polished, what valves, valve springs, and valve guides do you recommend? Thanks.

the de cams you cannot get reground to any advantage without custom shims.

unless you plan on spinning super high rpms, stock valvetrain components should suit fine.

Yeah, I was planning on getting custom shims from PDM but their regrind prices are too steep. I found a local shop that will do it for half the price but I'm not sure of the best grind specs.

Just copy pdm's or others profiles. Really you should read up on cam grinding and lobe design to fully understand your lobe profile and to know what you need to get done ie.. your cam spec.

good luck
