Please DO NOT Post In The General Section

From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.


The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.


For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

    Welcome to the club, I get through sometimes. Other times they never return my calls or emails.

    I think its just one guy there, John is his name I believe.

      The springs are actually smaller in diameter than a stock spring thats why you cant use stock retainers or stock seats.

        Im think I may be confusing valvestem seals and valve seats. I believe KMS makes valvestem seals are this the same as the valve seats?

          The valve spring seat is what the spring sits on, Instead of sitting on the bare aluminium on the head it sits on a piece of metal washer.

          The valve stem seal is the seal that prevents oil from dripping down into the runners.

          The valve guide is what the valve stem moves up and down in to keep the valve from wobbling.

          Kinda basic what I just said but there are more details .
