Neither can I

im about to replace my valve springs...seems i might be getting a bit of coil bind
also need to replace the valve guides/seals...some are blown!

so i found that ZZP sells the 78lb springs for 189$ plus shipping and you can use stock seat and retainer (dont need new ones right now).
i bought the spring compressor tool so it can be done one the car without removal of the head and the cam gear holder so that i can keep the car in time.

should be done by next mo and then im going to replace some simple gaskets, fix the exhaust leak on header, and change out spark plugs and run it on the dyno again. hoping to SHOW 200 WHP

goood.....goood

 

[06ion2coup]

God i really wish you the best, this is my dream build

 

[Cobalt Tom]

so to get her running i have:
cam gear timing holder tool
ecotec overhead valve spring compressor tool
new ngk iridium spark plugs
new oem valve guide seals
new valve cover gasket
new adapter to get my oil pressure gauge back on
and my compression tester is able to be taken apart so i can put air pressure into my cyl and keep it all on the car while doing it


im waiting on some zzp 72lb springs that i bought and then i am going to get to work on the car

when its all back together it should be at full power again...i cant wait

 

[Cobalt Tom]

added my zpp 78lb valve springs i installed...now i just have to retime the car haha

 

[cobalt123]

[Hemken666]

Cant wait man.
