Hi everyone.
I am just finishing an AMC 360 overhaul and about to finalize the heads.
I ran into a problem last night with the new set of Valve springs which came with the compcams complete kit (XE262 h)
The valve seats fit the old stock springs inner diameter but the new springs are larger in both the outer and inner diameter.
Is this going to be a problem the bottom of the new valve springs don't fit tight on the seats?
And also regarding the cam break in. Comp instruction says it's recommended to remove the inner springs when breaking in the cam.
Is this really required?
I don't have the tools to replace back the inner springs after the break in.
I would then have to remove the heads???
I highly appreciate if someone would give me a help on this.
Thanks,
Houman
