DELCOS NEW RIDE

[delcowizzid]

nah its just his summer time daily driver/cruiser he doesnt want to or need to change it due to it doing street work so well.was faster than he expected it to be no point ruining the fuel economy and street manors to have a 2nd drag car LOL.its much more responsive on the street when its on eagers its like running 4.11 diff gears with the smaller tyre

yeah fair enough, T700 in it ?

[delcowizzid]

yeah dirty old 700 with a shiftkit and servo its not nice .getting a stock unkitted box fitted to make it nicer to drive LOL also the weight difference of torana and the engine work has made it change bloody awefull at light throttle makes to much torque at too little throttle so it early shifts some gears and not others LOL

so looks like the 202 needs valvesprings can operate the valves with one hand on the rocker the lifters spring the seat up and the valvesprings dont have enough grunt to return the valve to its initial position LOL lifter is stronger than the spring

[Holden202T]

are they new springs or whatever was on it before ?

[delcowizzid]

whatever yellaterra fitted when they fitted the valves etc god only knows how many years ago LOL

[Holden202T]

yeah fair enough, could be 10 yrs or more old !! luckily new springs is an easy cheap thing!

[delcowizzid]

got 1 intake and 1 exhaust spring off on one cylinder today think they poked LOL 1.6" installed height 1.7" free length only a couple of mm preloaded.added bonus the cylinder with the oily plug has no leakage at 100psi but the stem seal/oil divertor rubbers were toasted now off to find some 130Lb+ springs dont know if the DIY spring compressor is gonna like refitment of them LOL

[delcowizzid]

spring+ digital bathroom scales+ verniers = estimated 25Lb seat pressure LOL

[Holden202T]

you should have just about been able to remove them by hand!! lol only about 100lb less than you want

as for those rubbers, I reckon they are more of an option than necessity also seen plenty of them get fucked just installing the collets!
