Re: Change Valve Springs??

If the springs are old and worn out, so are the locks and retainers!

I'll post my results after i do them, it's just going to be a while, since it's winter here I am sure hoping i will see some re-gain in hp. Lots of people have told me that they wouldn't cause that much performance loss....but for some reason i just have a feeling it's what's doing it.
