how to tell stock or aftermarket valve springs

2006greyGT · November 20th, 2009, 07:46 PM

I need to figure out if I really got what I paid for on my first build...the invoice says nothing about springs but it also says nothing about the porting and I saw it myself while the heads were off... they said I got heavier ones but I need to know because we are thinking about stage 2 blower cams while we are doing the phasers.. any one know what to look for ???

find stock ones and compare, but checking the color will help you

That's a hard one to tell because the springs are down in little recesses in the heads. Plus, different brand springs have slightly different characteristics like behive shapes and such. Why do you not trust these guys? Should we beware of some shop you've dealt with?
