2.5 or 3L valve springs for the 3L valves. in the thread it says use stock springs. to me that could mean one of 3 different sets SVT, stock 2.5 or 3L my teacher questioned that too.

thanks



I used the stock SVT springs. You have a non svt correct? If so, check them with a spring tension gague and use the heavier springs. I forget what the SVT springs were..... But (just a SWAG) I think that the 2.5 and 3l springs should be the same strength.

Another option is the ST200 springs. However, sources tell me that they are probably not any stronger than the SVT springs...
