other than skunk what other valvesprings will work?
also have a question i been thinking about buyin some valves, do i really need valves why yes or no please, the reason im thinking i need valves is cause when i picked up my pro2's the guy made it seem like i have to buy them or my valves will float at high rpm true? or was he just tryin to make a sell

i need to know so i can plan on how im going to blow all my money

 

I ran into this issue... I ahve a set of pro1's that I bought after I bought a complete supertech valvetrain. Well, when having my machinist cut in the valves, I had him measure the retainer to valve seal height... yeah, with the supertech stuff, the pro 1 intake cam would supposedly cause the retainer to hit the valve seal The skunk2 retainers made the clearance better

 

supertech makes a retainer that has a higher installed height so there is more retainer to valve seal clearance which you need to ask for.

Portflow as well.

 

thanx, i have the old skool skunk valve train but i guess that wont hold up for pro-series so i was told all i need to buy is the springs so i wanted to see what options i had. what about valves should i pick some up

 

How old are the valves you now have? How many missed-shifts? How many valve jobs? How thick is the margin? Any wear on the stems?

 

stock gsr valves, head is at the machine shop need to drop off the parts including a valve job(first one) and never seen the valves out side the head before so i cant say, i like stock gsr there tough little suckers BUT like i said when i picked up my cams he said i should get valves so that they dont float at high rpm.

you know what come to think of it my brother had stock valves just a good valve job and had pro2's in it.
todd you tuned his 16:1 ls/vtec the black crx jake he shaves his head well anyways he used stock valves UNTIL he went pro3's and bent like all the valves no i just need to worry that i picked up pro2's not pro3's haha

That is one LONG sentence.

The usage of stock valves is not what bent your brothers valves when using Pro3's.

 

I have run pro 1's on supertech valve train for two years now. Reving to 9500 on a regular basis and have no problems.

 

sorry the thing i dont like about valves is that i always hear when you over rev them be ready for bent valves.(not that i over-rev I DONT)
my reason for wantin valves is that i was told its safer with these cams.
anyone ever try "BLUEPRINT" valve train getting good deal and was told i can use these
