Subject: new valvesprings/valves Mon 03 Dec 2007, 7:30 pm

so i'm interested in upgrading the valves/springs. Any suggestions?
i figure if i have a weak spring i might as well take a step forward and upgrade.

B or D series?

Cheapest route for B and D is OEM
like the type R springs

For valves, supertech is the way to go

it's a D , so you're saying the ctr or itr valve springs would be ok? and i'll check out supertech.

Damn, B series valves and springs won't work on D's

Let a machine shop do it, its cheap, they have the proper tools, so that nothing gets damaged, the head has to be taken off.

Subject: Re: new valvesprings/valves Tue 04 Dec 2007, 8:06 pm

damn....ok thanks for the advice.

you can do a d motor with the head still on, its tricky but possible

Yeah, turning the crank so the pistons are at the top, so the valves don't fall in, done it once, it sucked, hardest thing is getting the springs compressed for the keepers.

Valve springs should work, measure the thickness with a set of calipers to be sure, they should be the same
