I read in another one of your threads that you are considering an aftermarket cam, carb, intake and headers.

Keep in mind that the stock valve springs are cheap, but if you're gonna be cranking this engine up anytime soon, then figure out exactly what you want to do and then do you cyl head up right to match your cam, valve springs and valves. I think (my opinion) that it makes the most sense to determine when and what you want to do before money is wasted - again - my opinion.

Be aware that if you have 2 valve springs that are as far out of spec as you describing that you most likely have 10 more that aren't far behind those 2.


If at first you don't succeed,
then read the directions and try again.
