I'm looking for some valve springs for my 75 2.0. A few of mine are out of spec. If it's a better idea to pony up and buy new ones, let me know.....

....IF one old valve spring is out of spec.....the others ain;t far behind....NEW valve springs should be installed reguardless, in every rebuild. They are cheap insurance for a quality job, and they are just not that expensive..........I.M.O...mm.

Only $25 for a FULL set from Jorge at EMW. Pelican sells then for $20.75 EACH. And the cheaper Mercedes ones for $11.50 each.

..........well he didn't say he needed dual springs....AND for a quality set of dual valve springs $100.00 and up is about right...so you didn't get burned........ F.Y.I............mm.

the website listed had a dual spring set for $35

I didn't say I got burned, I know the seller, I paid 10% above his dealer price...
