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....

I think you mean the guide boss ? Cut it only to 17 - 17,5mm . Most cut them too much and you get problems when changing guides .

When I repair guides in heads machined for dual springs I use K-line liners. Its a sleeve inside the valve guide that actualy holds upp better than the original guide.
