Quote I don't know what valve float feels or sounds like though. Can someone give me an example of the symptoms that failing/fatigued springs cause?

Tewantin to Cooroy rd yesterday with a full car ( luggage and passengers)flat 4th going into the cnr going up the hill flat changed 5th and started to get some valve float .Better to do them IMO. First sign of any issues for me, full car , full load , full throttle and a steep hill.

Not worried though. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69193-valve-springs-crucial/page/3/#findComment-1041273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't as bad stock. Have been driving sedately this tank of juice and it hasn't happened so that's a good indication...

XFT are going to check it out when they get a spare 5 minutes so it'll be interesting to see what they find.Looking on all the different forums nobody seems to have a 100% solution for this problem everyone has found different fixes. Things like dirty throttle body, faulty throttle position sensor, coils, injectors etc etc etc....Bit frustrating when XFT first tuned it Simon had it running smoother than stock then this little problem crops up out of nowhere. If anyone can fix it though I reckon they can so hopefully it helps answer a few questions.
