I pulled the head on my Spyder to upgrade cams, springs, valve seals, lifters, etc.It looks like the valves and valve seats are in good shape so I’m going to just clean them both up and reuse the valves. Originally I was thinking about putting in NEW valves while doing all this work but am...

I just picked up some Crower 272 for my dohc 2.4 build.I was wondering on what springs/retainers I should get? I only plan on revving to 7500rpm at most. Do I need to go aftermarket or could I just get stock replacements?Or should I just leave the stock setup from the junkyard I got it from...

Does anyone recognize these valves?I'm in the process of upgrading valve springs on an unknown 1G head that was in a car I bought for parts.These don't appear to be stock valves, and are in decent condition. I'm trying to figure out where this motor is at.The intake valves all have I-2400...

Just got my new seals and valves installed, got water sitting on the valves to see if any leaks exists. After that I'll install the BC268/272 cams shafts and cam gears. Everything went smooth and I used the K-motors compressor tool, it was only $50.

Long story short, my friend was cleaning oil off of my valve cover while the car was running and the paper towel got sucked into the timing belt. We turned the car off ASAP, got as much towel out as we could and the idle sounded off so I turned the crank until all the timing marks lined up and...

Hey guys. I was milling (decking) the mating surface of my 6 block head.. You must be registered to see element.It's built, and I just put the springs, valves, etc in and didn't realize the back edges of the intake valves protruded a tiny bit out from the chambers, puting them in the path of...

Is this correct? I see alot of builds with the keepers and retainers much lower on on the valve... Like 1/8 inch or so. Mine look like they're barely hangin on.. But they don't go anywhere..Kiggly street springs titanium retainers Gsc nitride SS valves.
