I'm getting ready to put my head back together, but I'm not sure I want to use the little 530 valve springs. In fact, I'm pretty sure I want to use the earlier B21/B23 valve springs. I've nearly got a complete set, but for some reason I'm missing one baggie from a disassembled head, leaving me with 7 of the large diameter shim/spring/retainer/keeper sets.

Has anyone got an old B21/B23 head laying around, or has anyone got a set of the early valve springs they don't mind breaking up? The springs aren't even that important, as I probably should spend the $$$ on ones that aren't 300,000 km old.

Dumbass...

I've got a box full of valve springs. We used to sell heads, remember? Not all of the were shipped with valves and/or springs...

Ah, I weren't aware you kept that stuff. You've got the other hardware too?

There is a box there. I think it's got valves, springs, keepers and spring seats in it...

i've got a couple heads you can have if you want. My old one from the b21ft and one from a b21a
