Default Worth giving someone used springs?

I have some Crane 893's that I used for about 1.25 years, maybe 20 dyno pulls and about 8 passes on them. Is it safe for me to give them to someone or ???

I went to Comp 977's.

Have them checked for pressures, as long as they're still good and near new specs (which they probably should be for such little use) they should be good to go I would think.

My own personal opinion would be that used Valvetrain items are like used Toilet Paper.

agree with shawn and floyd. have them check the presssure and if there still within spec and are able to handle the guys cam then go ahead and sell them. i wouldnt buy used springs myself, though i did sell my old Rev Duals and Manley Nexteks
