Nice to see you step up to the plate and do the right thing, but whats up with the pro-rating the warranty ?
A one year warranty is a one year warranty is'nt it ?
:confused:
Not a flame. Just curious.

Re: MMS Valvespring owners look inside! (Mike Morgan)
What has the failure rate been and how big is the risk of just leaving them in? How concerned do I need to be about this?
ps: $75 doesn't quite cover the inconvenience of a) a 1200 mile roundtrip drive to have you do the work, b) shipping you the heads and taking the bus for a couple weeks while you do the work.

RE the valve springs, if you have a few thousand miles on the car and haven't broken a spring I wouldn't worry about it. Most of the failures seem to happen right away if they are going to happen.

Re: MMS Valvespring owners look inside! (wallstAL)
Sent you an email yesterday about swapping mine for the Comp Cams 918s while my car is at your shop. If you have another spring you recommend let me know. Look forward to those dyno numbers!
Glad to see this email! :D

I had a local shop replace my Valve Springs while they were on the engine. It took 4 hours or so and it was finished. If you are really wanting to have that done you dont have to go back to MMS. :nono:

You have a 218 cam, your lift is not as great as a 224 or 226, you may have a less chance of a problem.

Went on another redline run (about 6 times) with my brother up to 6500 RPM's with MMS's 229 112 cam...no problems with springs here! I can't wait to see how it works with my S/C!
Oh I actually barked 4th gear to my great surprise. :D
