Default Valve spring recommendation needed

My wife’s 2000 T/A has a set of early MTI heads and B1 cam. It just broke a 941.

Since the heads have larger valves, I need to find a direct replacement spring for a 941 so I can reuse the titanium retainers and larger valve locks.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Larry

U can use the 918s or Manley springs. MTI has the Manley springs on there web page. Ive had good luck with both and run the manley springs with my XER lope

I cant use the 918's unless there is a retainer available to accept the larger valve locks needed for the larger then stock valaves. Since I have the larger locks and retainers, I would just like to find a replacement spring to save some $$

what is the diameter for the matching 941 retainers?
I really dont think that there are identical diameters along springs from brand to brand and unless you are wanting to put in another 941, I would switch to some 918s and just bite it for some new retainers, dont need the locks.
