Looking into 3k or 4k GSK.. Valve springs?
 
Alright, im looking into a GSK. From what Ive read, I'll need to buy some 60lbs springs too. Why is it important to get valve springs too? And how hard is it to install the two of them.. GSK and valve springs that is.

Possible valve float after 3200 rpms from what I have read on this forum. Mine should be here in a few days :) there is a search feature on this forum loaded with information on gsk and valve springs

Hey SCHMITTY, I've been reading ALOT of your posts and threads and such. Could you give me some info on how to "rotate" my barrels? I'm assuming it has something to do with my injectors or fuel lines.. But I'm just not sure on how to, or what it does.

you dont need valve springs if you just run the 3ks. you can buy the 4k kit and leave out the little spring and they are 3ks. install the little spring later down the road.

I'd go with the 4kgs. You wont be disappointed at all :c:

Well, my problem with going to 4k is I don't know how to install the valve springs. I'm young and don't have enough mechanical experience to tackle this by myself.. If I DO do valve springs, I will definitely take it up to the local trade school, where I used to take automotive tech., and get my friends to help me so I'm not alone in this. If anyone could give me any sort of advice, this would be greatly appreciated

just put the 4k in and use your foot to keep it under 3200 rpm, its not hard at all
