help selecting valve springs.

OK...I'm going to replace all the 1.25" valve springs on my TFS 23 degree heads.

Any recommendations on springs & retainers.

I'd like something that will work with the current 1.5 rr and the CRANE 2032 with a .452 in intake lift and a .465 exhaust lift.

The heads will accomodate 1.46" springs.

I don't know much about the various requirements for springs hope the ones you recommend will also work with 1.6 rr and the LPE 219 cam I've been contemplating for future mods.

Thanks for the input.

Marty

You can't go too far wrong if you go with the Cam Manufacturer's recomended valve springs the the cam u have.

Here is the Cam card for that cam. the spring specs and part# are there. Should be a straight bolt on.
