Ok, a thought ran through my head. I have a decent medium duty junkyard in town. They have a few industrial p-pumped 12 valve core 5.9's. Anyone know if industrial 5.9's came equipped with 60# valve springs?? I could pick them up CHEAP. Not pay the $120ish for new. Plus put a collet or two in my pocket .

Ok my mentor has informed me that this would be wasting my time cause even the high hp 3000rpm 5.9 used 45# valve springs. The only ones that got 60# springs would have come with an exhaust brake. Which leads me to believe more than likely they would only have them on the exhaust side. If I could read CPL I would know what said engine came equipped with. CPL determines the build. So looks like I'll be spending some money now on new.

Dale, I will be up there next week or weekend, I'll look. I haven't seen any 4B cores in the past. They have one in a wrecked Frito Lay van, but they said they want to sell the whole truck, so I never even looked to see if it was p or ve pumped.
