    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I agree with Hap, didnt read the post thoroughly, your valve SPRINGS should be just fine. Before you take your head apart tho, you may want to inventory your valve shims, just so you know where your starting point will be when you put it back together. After you get it back together, i would suggest double checking your clearances, likely they may change. Seals, rings, lap and MAYBE have the head machined if you think it needs it. You sound like you know motors well enough, this one will prove nice and simple. And actually, quite fun. I dont worry bout the top end of my 8v motors, but Ive never split the cases, and really, i dont want too..lol

Its not that difficult CAFE. I'll give you a hand if you ever decide to do it. All advice is free.

Cheers. don.
