Re: 396 experts need help
Well turn out I had a mess. I took things apart again and wonder if this was the case the first time and I just did not notice it ....... 5 Broken valves springs. Broken on the outter spring so the valves were still closing. Also noticed the Valve guides were too loose. I bought these heads ready to go from someone on ebay. They were beautifully cleaned and had all new hardware. Crappy job ! So I am getting new guides and cleaning them up again and getting the correct springs for MTC6 Melling Camshaft. I am thinking they were not the right springs. I should have looked closer but I have never had a broken spring in all my years of automotive since 1992. I have probably worked on 30 different engines of various types LOL. Oh also the valves were all Snow white on the bottom. Lean condition........
