Great info! Seeing what a rotator looks like, I can say confidently that there were no rotators on any of the valves (intake or exhaust) when I disassembled my engines. Quote
Matt Wilson Posted November 2, 2019 Author Report Posted November 2, 2019 Well, I ended up buying a set of springs from Andy Bernbaum this afternoon - just ordered straight off their website. I'm guessing they are NOS, but as long as they were preserved properly, they'll be fine. They were $4.00 each. I had thought Summit's price was $3.99, as I posted earlier, but I must have been looking my screen cross-eyed, because when I went back to the Summit website later, I realized they are actually $5.99 each. Thanks to everyone for your input! Matt Quote
