dual vavle springs in the way cant torque down head

[drfinest1809]

sorry but i search for it before and found the threads and today i could not find them, but hears my issue i have dual valve springs but im having trouble torquing four of the bolts due to clearance. i even grinned away at the bolt just to get more clearance and im still having issues. Dose any one know what im doing wrong here, i even try pushing the springs to the side a little bit, but there not going anywhere...

is it the head bolt,stud washer causing the issues?

Is it catching on the spring seat?

yeah that happened to me when i was putting mine on. I first put on the washers then started the nuts. then just started tightening them up, the springs will move a little. I never hurt mine to do it this way either. From what i remember it only caught on a couple of them near the outside of the head. Id say just get them started and tighten them down like i did.

 

[drfinest1809]

yes its getting caught on the spring seat its only the two far corners any suggestions

lift the head back up off the studs and slide the washers under the spring pads then slide the head back down over the studs

 

[livedsm4g63]

do that or just hand tighten them until they hit then throw a socket on. Thats how i did it.

That is probably the only way you will get them on.
