Title: Valve to piston clearance- lightweight spring? Post by: Jonny Grigg on June 24, 2014, 20:22:02 pm Hi,
I need to check my valve to piston clearance. Does anyone know where I'd get a lightweight spring to just hold the valve on the seat? I'd prefer to do this rather that use an outer Chevy spring if possible. May sound like a stupid question, but what spring could I use? Is there something out there specific for this or is it another "make do"? I might be reaching in the loft for my old R/C car stuff from when I was a kid and use a cut down shocker spring unless there is anything better out there...... Thanks for the help.

Jamie mentioned the rear main to you? Hopefully Wayne will have that turned down in the morning and we're back on it...... Title: Re: Valve to piston clearance- lightweight spring? Post by: Jonny Grigg on June 24, 2014, 20:51:26 pm By turned down I meant shamfered... It has been a long day.
