The collet dropping incident is very possible. We did it on mine. It came out (luckily) on the next oil change.

There is a bit of work to do to change them over.

I got my springs for free and we fitted them for 3 slabs... Doesn't get much cheaper than that! :blush:

I charged my mate $300 to fit his springs in his 03 xr6t. MK2 bas up are a bit more of a pain as they dont use gaskets they use sealant on the timing cover.Takes a bit of time to clean and re seal timing cover as apposed to replacing gaskets. I reckon you could probably do them without removing timing cover and cams but that's the way I do them. Back 2 springs are the hardest and they get easier as you start making your way to the front. Havent dropped a collet but if it goes into the sump it cant really go anywhere.

ebxmple, why are you taking the timing cover off?

is it hard to remove the timing cover in the process of fitting v`springs.

the reason I ask is because im getting springs fitted soon and have a leaking timing case.

I have heard that the sump needs to come off so that means the xmember and other parts associated with this.

if its just a case of splitting it and cleaning off the goo and replacing it I will get them to do the leak at the same time.

but if the sump has to come off I will wait till I get my bottom end done.

No, the sump doesn't need to come off.

Why do you need valve springs on a BF? I thought the BF springs were good.
