My home inspection of Speedmaster heads
I saw a video of someone reviewing some Speed master valve springs and they mentioned that the retainers had to be pressed into the spring with some effort, the machining finish causes flash to build up on the inside of the coil. When the retainer is forced fit it causes the last coil to stick out beyond the retainer. Looks like what we have here. Shouldn't be, it is, I'll grind the inside a little so its correct. Maybe radius the outer coil end too...dress em up. That little bit of protrusion may scrape on the underside of the rocker arm. Is what it is, I intend on using them, hope they don't break or go flacid on me! Now I need a stronger spring compressor, mine is not strong enough to compress these springs :BangHead:
