Valve Springs

Anyone local have a set of valve springs... I think it's stock diameter, and should be able to support .550 or better lift. I snapped one, so they're all coming out.

Re: Valve Springs

If you descide to buy Comp valve springs, I have a set of 740-16 steel retainers that have about 1k miles on them, I'm going to be taking them out for some titanium ones that are on order.

Re: Valve Springs

As far as damage goes at the moment it seems that the damage was solely to the spring going to just pop a new one check the guides out give her a compression test and let her rip.

Re: Valve Springs

Hey Matt, to run the Comp springs do you need to do anything else? Other than new retainers/locks, do I need Shims or anything?

Re: Valve Springs

You need 7481-16 locators, 740-16 retainers, 987-16 are the springs. Fergot the PT# for the locks, you can find out.

Springs rate is 441lbs so they are pretty bad a$$
