The 360 build that has more turns than Willow Springs
The heads needed new valve stem seals so I found some locally and brought them to my machinist. The Fel Pro gasket kits I’ve bought usually come with them but they are the umbrella type. Those fit stock heads with single springs but these heads came with dual springs or more accurately… single spring with a damper. These require these type:
.500 over the valve guide and a 3/8” valve stem.
I did a cursory cleaning of the balancer…
It didn’t look OEM here:
Then I looked at the timing grooves.
This director’s out to 32 degrees! I don’t think that I have seen that before on a stock balancer. None that I can recall had anything but a Single timing grooves with the tab on the timing cover.
