273 questions...a few of them

Badsport, in that pic, the valve on the left if I remember correctly is exhaust. And all the exhaust got the new keepers. Am I right here in thinking that the installed spring height should be the same in all the valves? I see a difference in the coils, but in my opinion that is because the valve is sitting up higher, therefore putting more tension on that spring???


Yup, they should be the same or close. For a stock engine real close would be good. Mine were slightly off when I put it together, but it's temporary and not high performance really so I didn't worry about it.

On my new build they will be gone through at the shop and the spring heights will be matched.

That is most curious, have you tried the old keepers?
