6.1 Valve spring failure

Rat Patrol said
This is why I sourced my locaters, shims and seals from Thitek.

As far as I know, he gets the shims milled specially...which tells me theres no off the shelf solution

It saved me having to do installed height measurements as he knew exactly what thickness shim and locater was required.

We are lucky - the installed height on Gen 3 s doesnt vary much - if it did, each valve height would have to be calculated separately and we would use various thickness shims.

so the new seals are without seat? the way we know from regular engines? I am wondering what this seat of the stock seal does. because it is not under the stock spring. too small in diameter....

i assume he, i mean Thitek, sells sets? can you get me a link where to order? Or a contact? you already dealt with this company so you know them already.. Is it this guy? [email protected]
