Title: installing double valve springs in 043's Post by: FDK/mrpedrini on February 14, 2009, 19:09:38 pm Hey guy's, need some technical advice here.
I want to mill the valve guides of my 043 vw heads, to instal some double Berg (273 a) springs. I need to know to what size the guides have to be to clear the springs. I did some measurements and i think it would be 15 milimeters, is this correct? cheers, Dennis....

Most cut them too much and you get problems when changing guides .
