I'm having problems with these Web Cam valve springs, they won't fit over the valve guide boss in the cylinder head or fit the spring retainer. I made some measurement of the parts:
Web Cam Spring ID: 0.925" Stock Spring ID: 0.972 Valve Guide Boss OD: 0.935" I was told that these springs would fit without machining the heads. I had the parts store (Bow Wow of Lynnwood, WA) call Web Cam about the problem, they said to send 'em back for inspection. Did I get the wrong springs? Is there something I'm missing? I'm re-camming a friends '75 914 2.0l as a wedding gift. I chose a Web Cam grind # 86 with 0.423" lift and 270 degrees duration. I bought the cam, cam gear, lifters, and springs from them assuming it would all work together without problems. He's got Weber 40 IDFs on it. We dropped the motor and tranny last weekend, all was going well until this came up. TIA, Attached image(s) |
