    at a whopping 4500rpm you aren't going to get valve float, there will be zero performance gain from stiffer valve springs in an 'e' head.

      yea what he said, if you really wanted too you could swap in some i springs into it but there would be no point because you wont be spinning that little e cam around fast enough to need them. save money for an whole 885 head swap.

              That post makes my head hurt, try using some goddamn punctuation man. Do some more reading on this subject and you will see that putting the I cam in the e head won't work. The e cam has fewer bearing journals than the I cam.

                nah, just let him throw the 'i' cam in the 'e' head, I'm sure "captain obvious" will show up in time to let him know that he is a retard.

                      it will work if you drill 3 more holes for the bearings. Totally not a big deal.

                      Not sure about drilling them with the head on the car though..

                          They have smart phones now days. You don't have to use that old T9 text function anymore.
