So thats where your getting your information? Holleys website? Congratulations.
Mine is straight from my head, from years of experience and knowledge of playing with this stuff.

Take a hike. Your not adding anything to this thread of value. We have enough stupid comments without you throwing your bullshit into the mix. You want to see a nitwit, try the mirror.

And that post you just had really added some value to this thread. You all need to grow up. Will one of the mods please close this thread, is is way off topic, I am still curious to read about what happened to JustinMP3's car, and don't feel like reading through this ****-fight to find out what happened.

I don't guess he is ever going to come back and say what happened. Maybe he pulled a Patio and drove through too deep a puddle? Not too interested in telling us what happened because he, like the rest of us, made some stupid mistake and it cost him an engine.

sorry i have no comp wow what happend to my thread lol, O and no big puddle but i thought about fire J/K ( i did though) ok here is the skinny some how i dropped a valve so nobody should mess with the valve springs stock ones are good enough. put a nice quarter size hole in the piston and destroyed it. i have the head still, up for sale if anyone wants to check her out. i cant do pics yet no comp. but i do have nice pics of the damage soon as i get the comp going. i was on the interstate 96 east just outside of lexington. and going about 2 miles a minute construction zone. I started hearing loud clicks i knew it was the valve train but i didnt know it was a valve hitting the piston. buy the time i turned my hazards on and was pulling on to the side of the road "poof" she went dead. and thats it. i have her back now new engine sounds and feels stronger than the one that was ported and polished so i dont think you should do it unless you know exactly what your doing and you already have a way to tune her. thats it any thoughts o yeah sorry i am a slow poke. but i still love the pro even 3000 grand into the engine and 4000 grand fixing it back to almost stock again. yup wifes pissed

Did you do the springs yourself? Or did a shop do them?
