im about to replace my valve springs...seems i might be getting a bit of coil bind
also need to replace the valve guides/seals...some are blown!
so i found that ZZP sells the 78lb springs for 189$ plus shipping and you can use stock seat and retainer (dont need new ones right now).
i bought the spring compressor tool so it can be done one the car without removal of the head and the cam gear holder so that i can keep the car in time.
should be done by next mo and then im going to replace some simple gaskets, fix the exhaust leak on header, and change out spark plugs and run it on the dyno again. hoping to SHOW 200 WHP
