I have taken this question away from a DELETED thread.
Hi all, I was enquiring about not using the hairpin valve springs in a 1952 G80 alloy head and doing a coil spring conversion. There was mention of a set/kit from Russel Motors that is suitable for a 1952 G80 alloy head?
Is it true that the hairpin spring set-up does not 'turn' the valve in the guide and therefore the valve and guide wear significantly in just two spots and do not wear evenly? This is what my engineering man is telling me and suggesting that I go for a coil spring conversion on my G80 alloy head. Cheers Peter
