Default Valve Spring question

For those thinking about a "cam only" mod, is it necessary to remove the heads to swap out the valve springs or can they be done with the heads intact?

Thanks for your feedback on this. I'm still on the fence as to Cam only or
heads and cam.

The valves can very easily be replaced with the heads on the motor.

Hey trooper - I'm thinking you meant valve springs - and not "valves" - right? :thumbs: :lurk:

HAHAHA :D Yeah, that's valve springs, folks. I'd have to renew my magician's license to pull off that one! ;)

Thanks you guys. I appreciate the feedback. Next question, could a reputable tuner install a cam and dyno tune in a day? If not .....how long??

Could they? Yes. Would they? That's another question altogether. ;)
