let's play resize your pics first

 

no thanks i left them big for people to see what little detail they could

 

 

cmon guys bump

 

Retanier's look like REV. Cannot tell springs, "R" seem closest.

 

second person that has said that

 

i understand - I'm not trying to hate, but damn those are some bigass pics that are choking the (fractional) T-1 at work

 

a few question:

1. are there dual valve springs on both intake and exhaust valves?
2. what color are the springs on either side of the head (there should be some faint traces of paint on oem springs)? from what i can see in the pics, looks similar to the stock b16 springs, but its hard to tell.

 

retainers are portflow. springs are probably the same.

I agree on the retainers...my old portflow retainers looked exactly like that.

 

the springs looks like egg shape,maybe are toda's

 

I had a set of portflows and those look identical.

 

ok i need to find some pics of the portflows

 

you like to play guessing games with your motors eh.... one day one of the corners that you cut will attack you...

ok dude your obviously rushing things who said i was using these? i just might but you don't know that. and i wouldn't use these unless i can 100% verify what they are so that way i can use tha right cams. so before you start running your mouth find out why i ask what these are i may be selling them you never know. so shhh before i attack you heh j/k

 

why do you need to know what kind of spring they are? is it too see what kind of cams you can run? if so just put them on a spring checker....the local machine shop should have one

 

yeah well that and i really want that piece of mind i'm thinking of selling them

 

bump one more post liek this i need to identify these cams

 

 

cmon guys need an awser on these and my cams

 

Solved the cam issue now just need these verified the cams are skunk2 stage vtec cams

 

/thread

there skunk2 retainers and springs just talked to skunk2 about it

 

Spring brand, not so much important other than what material they use. Installed height/load, open height/load, coil bind, blah blah blah matters more for what cam you're running. You can always take the springs somewhere and have them measure the rate. You can take a micrometer and measure inside & outside diameter and it'll tell you what the springs will work with. Other than that, you should ask whoever you bought the stuff off of what they are. Retainers, same crap, measure up the lip on the I.D. to O.D. rings and it should let you know how much spring load they can handle. Manley retainers look exactly like that also, so don't rely on someone to tell you what they look like. Get them checked out if you can't have the seller for sure identify them. Or atleast have him give you the spec card they should come with.

 

well they are all skunk2 stuff the person i bought them from had bought them all from someone else thinking they were all oem. i took it all apart ad came to realize that they are all skunk2 and joseph at skunk2 confirmed this . they where with skunk2 stage 2 cams
