Ok somethings bothering me, wheni was done and cleaning up from the valve spring and cam swap, i an short a seat from the old springs, and have 2 extra seats for the new springs and one seal left over, as i was changing the springs i would pull a spring, pull the seal, pull the seat, install new seat and seal then spring.... As far as i remember i did this on all 16 springs... I know when i got the springs i counted everything to make sure i didnt get shorted or whatever and it turned out i had extras of jsut about everything if memory serves, but i cant remember how many extras of what i had to start with. The seats for the 26918s i took off have a wider center base circle, is there a way to look at the springs and tell if i out of frustration and 3-4am trying to get finished tiredness, i forgot to change a seat without pulling all of the springs back off???
