Well boyz, I installed the spring back and I still had problems. When I changed the spring I had the PSI at only 50 or so and I didnt think hear any air coming from the intake or the tailpipe so I assumed I didnt have a bent valve. I started it and went for a cruise and it still had a missing problem! So I took my time and I pulled the damn head OFF!!

here is what the spring caused! I guess Im still lucky and it could of been worse! If I send the head back to TEA do you guys think they'll replace the valve for me? This sucks man!

Hey Paul, yea they were pretty cool about it. I talked to Mike over at TEA and he said to ship the head to him and he was gonna replace the valve, check the valve guides and do a valve job. So I'm on my way to Fed ex to ship it to Ohio.

Well I got the head from TEA and I installed it, and as my luck would have it It still drives like its on a miss!!!!! I believe its a spring thats broke AGAIN or TEA just swapped out the valve and didnt check the valve guides or I have another bent valve somewhere! this **** is getting out of control already! All of this after after a god damn spring breaks! And what they call a "FLUKE"! I paid 1800 dollars for a set of NEW TF heads with their "upgraded spring" and breaks after a summer of WEEKEND only driving! I havent even been to the track with it! I only drive from carshow to carshow on the weekends and you guys in the midwest section know I TAKE CARE OF MY ****! I am so frustrated right now! I believe that you should do it once and do it RIGHT! You want to add a little power to your ride, you go out and get the best parts, from the best company and use their tried and true set ups and BREAK after 5k miles of driving? And on a cam with only .610 lift and the so called upgraded springs are said to be good for .670? Now I have a piston with a notch in it, a car that I have spent over 600.oo dollars just trying to diagnose and fix problems. Its summer here and I cant even use my car!
Thanks Trickflow!!!

I've had the super expensive stuff blow up just as easily as the cheap stuff.

If I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all.
