1700 Super Sprint valves springs

[chris59]

Hello guys, I need to buy a new set of valve springs (double springs) for a 1700SS (Kent crossflow).

Unfortunatly,I don't know where to search.

Their specifications are as follow :

Outer spring :

- fitted length 32mm

- free length 37.7mm

- wire diameter 4.2mm

- 6 spires

Inner spring :

- free length 31.4mm

- wire diameter 2.7mm

- 7 spires

I bought this car 10 years ago in England, but no invoice to show where, or by whom the engine was tuned.

This car was used, apparently, mainly on track, but also on road.

I tried on Burton website, but the springs specification are different, including the fitted length (34mm)

Can you help me ?

Cheers !

Speak to Dave at http://www.gemzoe.com, he knows his way around a crossflow, having built his own monster of an engine, he should be able to help, or as an alternative wilcoxengines.co.uk, they should be able to help too.

Or Burton performance in Ilford should be able to supply them.

Tight fart ( :-)) !), it seems they aren't not available from Burton, as wrote previously, as the one I need have a shorter fitted length (32 vs 34 mm)

Sorry, I really must read all of the post before replying.
have you tried ctm performance?

[chris59]

Not yet, good idea, it's worth trying, thanks !

Maybe yours were 34mm when they were new?
