HELP! BEFORE I MAKE A HUGE MISTAKE!!!
i just bought the tfs valve spring upgrade Kit and after putting them on, one valve stem is sticking out further than the next one, is this normal or bad? do i leave it like that?

Do you mean one spring is more compressed? Or they are all equally compressed behind the fittings and one stem just seams to be larger?

pretty sure that's normal, the exhaust valves should stick out less because the retainer is offset to allow the same size springs on the intake and exhaust valves. The exhaust seats are higher than the intake seats. My crane kit was the same way. You might run into clearance problems with the rockers, I had to file down the body of my crane rockers a little bit on the exhaust valves so they didn't hit the spring retainer before the valve stem.

thanks so much for the fast replies, im putting my heads in today, i wanted to be assured that it was not a problem or would cause any problems along the way, (broken springs ect.)
