Spring install
Spring install Do the heads need to come off? I'll be putting new 918 Beehives on to support my new 502 cam w 10 degree retainers and locks.
What "specific" tools do you use?
Are the rr studs screw in on my heads?
On the cam sheet it recomends 1.5 or 1.52 rr. I believe that's what comes stock. Should I go 1.6? This a DD, 1000 miles a week w ocassional weekend at track. I'm not trying to kill my MPG. Just want a decent set up.
Thanks and please be very specific.

if doing springs on a car with the heads still installed, don't you want a air compressor? I thought you pump air through the spark plug hole on the cylinder you are working on, so the valve dosen't fall into the motor??

I did mine without using air. Just put the cylinder you are working on at TDC, as previously mentioned. Valves will just rest on the top of the piston if they fall. New valve seals held my valves up while putting the new springs on. I start at Cyl. 1 and just follow the firing order, so you just have to turn the crank a 1/4 turn each time and your done.
