Re: Replacing valve springs while replacing seals..

There is no performance gain in valve springs. With the stock cam, stock springs are plenty adequate. If you plan to be revving it to red line often, the old Z28 valve springs, like the Sealed Power VS739 are a good choice. It would be a waste of money to convert springs, retainers, and maybe keepers to the "flavor of the month", just so you can say you have them.


I like to use the SS72527 intake seals on both the intake and exhaust valves. Remember that if the valve guides are badly worn, the valves may be able to move around enough to prevent the seal from maintaining a good seal with the valve.

RACE ON!!!
