Hello, here is a link to the original post about me discovering valve seal bits and inner dampner pieces under my valve covers.
http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/some-debris-drain-plug-magnet-379282-3.html
The truck sat in a shop for over a week only for the guy to call me telling me he quoted me wrong by over double and it was going to be 500+ $ to replace valve seals.
I wen't ahead and drove my truck out of there.
Now i'm pretty lost as to what to do, I have myself convinced that this was not an issue caused by valve float or loft from over revving.
I believe these were incorrect springs for my heads and the inner dampners broke from hitting the valve guide boss then the broken pieces tore up my seals.
Specs 135 lbs. @ 1.750, 325 lbs @ 1.200
Springs are 1.250 diameter
I am trying to find the correct parts for my application, I have a voodoo hyd roller cam in my engine
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 270/278
Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 219/227
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .515/.530
LSA/ICL: 112/106
Valve Lash (Int/Exh): Hyd/Hyd
RPM Range: 1800-6000
Could someone please point me in the right direction for some springs, keepers and retainers that will work for me and my vortec heads?
I assume I could simply remove the inner dampner from my current springs, replace the seals and then maybe be back on the road but I don't want to cut any corners.
Here is the original sale ad for the vortecs, they were supposed to be ready for a 600+ lift cam.
