Got Comp Cam valve springs to go with my 306 cam, comp cam retainers, valve seals, and valve locks.
I had taken him the part # of some springs I found online, and he didn't like the way the specs of it looked when I showed him my cam and specs. He musta known the cam, cause he was saying something about not liking the installed height numbers... He said an approximate installed height #, then he looked in the comp cam catalog, and the springs and retainers they rec. for that cam were about the exact #'s he mentioned to me. Guy knows his stuff. Oh yeah, the springs I bought were cheaper than what I had found myself.
So I got those. Going to pick that up tomorrow. I am right now taking a break from my conquests engine overhaul, which is going super smooth. Gaskets, piston rings and piston came in last week. Throwing down on it now and it's going good. She will be ready to drive hopefully by the weekend. I wish I wasn't so busy. I got sent home from work due to weather so I had time today, but man! I get a couple hours at the end of the day to tinker with it. Still though, engine stuff is so fun.
