solly007 Member 40 Member For: 16y 1m 20d Posted 02/04/12 11:05 AM Share Posted 02/04/12 11:05 AM Have brought a second hand xr6t ba mk1 and the old owner said it had the valve springs up graded and I need to be sure, with the valve cover removed the top 2 rows of the springs are painted blue does this sound like they are standard springs. Any help would be great. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79552-how-to-recognise-standard-valve-springs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really are a consumable item, in the end.. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79552-how-to-recognise-standard-valve-springs/#findComment-1217789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
