From what I have seen , sooner or later you WILL need them and lunching an engine is a expencive way to learn a lesson.Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they will need changing eventually.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on where you go. I am lucky my good mate owns DSR engines and mechanical in thornton and he's always happy to help me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intresting..."Q: I was quoted $1400 to supply and fit a set of H/D valve springs to a Ford Turbo 6 cylinder - is this the usual cost for this job?A: No, it is not. Our springs are priced from $369/set and the labour to install should be around $300-$350. In the past, the cylinder head needed to be removed, however we manufacture a special tool (Atomic #100704) to change the springs with the cylinder head still on the car, saving labour and gaskets, etc. We can usually refer you to a workshop in your area that has our tool and can undertake the job for you."
