A friend has 383 rwkw and changed his. They were fine when he had 300 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74580-valve-springs-on-fg/#findComment-1101427 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you intend on going big power then its a small expense compared to the rest of the gear.

Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 8m 11d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 30/04/11 09:27 AM Share Posted 30/04/11 09:27 AM Still factory valve springs in mine. But all engines are different so you'll have to see how you go. Only way to know is either remove them and test them or tune on the dyno and see.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74580-valve-springs-on-fg/#findComment-1101461 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then I have now changed them. I wouldnt want to push any more power then that out of the standard ones. Better to be safe than sorry I say....
