Well i havent done much with my truck so i figured i'd like the old lady off easy and get me valve springs. I like to know what im getting into before i do anything so im going to double check some things that im not positive on. I'd like to thank bc847 for having a good write up on this so i have something to follow also.

1. The 3916691 (60lb) springs are intake and exhaust interchangeable right? I was pretty sure on this but figured id ask before i got it all tore apart.

2. Stock retainers and locks work with the 3916691 springs even though they are beehive shape springs?

3. Are you supposed to smack the valve stem when everything's put back together to make sure things are seated properly?

4. Why does Scheid's online store want to charge me 130 dollars to ship valve springs 100 miles?

5. Are you sick of me starting new threads yet?

 

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. They deliver them in a pulling truck?
5. Not really.

 

Thanks Wanna. That was easy. Ill use this thread later when i run into problems (i know i will)

 

Smack the stems while the piston's still at TDC so's you don't go loosin' a valve!

 

i wondered about that.. do i have to worry about piston to valve clearance while tapping it?

 

No. Don't hit it hard, just tap it.

 

10-4...Thanks, this cleared up things.

 

Worry less about new threads and more about more power LOL

 

how much do they want from scheids? I think Gillette diesel was the cheapest I've seen them, but yet I'm not shoppin for them at the moment.

 

Also, make sure to look out for the quantity in some kits. Some companies will sell them in sets of 6 for those running exhaust brakes. If you run into that, of course you'll need 2 sets.

 

Scheids is 14 dollars a spring but they are cummins springs, not pacbrake.

 

Whenever i get something in the mail, i feel the need to post pics so i figured this would be the best place for it.

i got home to find a package from Schied diesel.... of course i opened it. hopefully the old lady doesnt get mad that i opened it already. (had her name on it)

 

Haha what would the old lady use them on, a Geo Metro?

 

NOO shes got a Neon.. get it straight.

They are supposed to be a gift to me.

 

what a nice girlfriend u have
