Re: Broken Inner-Dampner Valve Springs...?

Oh wow. Damn, AFR's? wow. wouldn't expect that from them either. Yeah, keyword: "hopefully" (haha) just a bad batch of springs. i really do hope it was a bad batch. lol. when i tore down the right side and saw the condition of the valve seal, it had to have just happened for my seal on #5 int. to just start barely being pulled up out of the recessed area for the seal. It's kinda like the inner spring is twisting clockwise-downward angle. My father and I first thought the piston was hitting the valves, but its weird how its only the intake valves.... IDK! I give up for today! I'm giving myself a headache thinking about it....

Thanks for the information FirebirdJones! will definitely look at the guides when new springs come in and new seals. IF they are toast, my mind will be too!
