Re: Replace valve springs? Help me experts

There may be something to that if it's race motor with high tension valve springs. I've known drag racers that backed their valves off after a race at the track so that they did n't have tension on the springs and never had the valves under pressure when the rig was stored. On a stock engine I wouldn't worry too much about it.
