HRH Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I have an idea, do you have both an inner and outer spring? I know the L uses a double spring setup, I think the Z24 does also. It's possible the previous owner only put one set of springs in. Quote Link to comment
Sick720 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yeah they're both there, haha I've had this truck for like ten years. Quote Link to comment
Sick720 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Hey Mike, do you know someone that would have a good head, they'd be willing to let go of? Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Wait, wait, I might have it here. Does your chain tensioner have a spring in it? I wonder if someone forgot the spring inside the tensioner? That still doesn't explain why you can rotate the springs by hand. You'd have to either have mis-adjusted the valve lash by adjusting them with the cam lobe hitting the cam follower or just missed the distance between the cam follower end and the top of the valve stem. Or you have a cam that's worn down to beat poop. Quote Link to comment
Sick720 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 No, everything is there, and done right. I had no problems with it before I had the valves ground. I'm just hoping it holds up until I can save up for ka swap. Anyone know how much a complete used head would go for? I'm hoping to find one for around $100, but I just don't see that happening -_- Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 We need some pictures, a Z24 head is worth about a plugged nickel. I have one in my garage but shipping to Cali would be more than it's worth. Give us some pics, something has to be seriously wrong to have the issues you're describing. You're sure you're not working on a Chevy, right? ;) Quote Link to comment

They are each worth about 20 pounds of aluminum minus the gas money to turn them in. Quote Link to comment
