The springs that are in there have about 7 coils and are 8 1/2"......

I have these from someone who swapped spring at the shop at some point.........

......less coils and about an inch taller.......coils look thicker also....

Quick oil/filter change.......this engine is good and broken in now.......going with synthetic oil from now on......

......I've read different things about different oils......seems like everyone has their own opinion......

 

I just wanna see for myself...........

 

 

Valvoline 10w-30 full synthetic.....

with 10 30 your oil pressure will be much lower 

I believe the older engines have looser tolerances and bigger oil holes so thicker might be better 

I am not an expert just what I have heard and believe to be true

Well......

 

I was using 10w-40 Castrol before......this is 10w-30.....not too much different

 

Oil psi was around 35 at idle........jump to 70 if I revved it......

 

 

Didn't put the gauge on for the synthetic but I'm not too worried about it......

......the engine is pretty much new.....clearances should be good.......

 

 

.......and if it isn't......I'll be building myself another...... :D

..........when I went for the test drive the back end would bottom out on every take off......

 

.............came to the conclusion that my springs are just wasted......
