  • Aftermarket springs??

    Do these look like aftermarket HD valves? I know its a far shot just by looking at them but....

    Best measure the lift. Aftermarket springs usually have a higher lift (~12mm).
    Unless you plan on revving above 7k or the lift of the cam requires, aftermarket valve springs aren't necessary.

      Going to a TT 276 or 280 cam so would need to be good for at least .448" lift. 12mm would suffice.
