Hi all
I'll be putting in a 1521a soon into my el xr6 and just wondering cos it already has xr valve springs would there be much point in changing them?? Thanks

no
your XR springs 13-14yrs old...... they weaken over time i ran new crow XR springs, and the tuner said they were still noisy up top revs |

Whats with the double posting man? You only need to start one thread to ask one question. People will see it, trust me.

crow make XR springs, and another 2 stiffer springs on top of that
one set is the double springs, and the other is a single spring i think with specs between the XR & doubles its on page 3, underneath the crossflow ones http://www.crowcams.com.au/media/catalo ... %20all.pdf btw, you also have to make sure yours isnt a late EL with the hybrid AU head, cause then you will need different cam & springs..... |

Had a look at the crow website and noticed that the double valve springs for el -au feb 98 Had to be machined , but they won't fit mine cos it's not a hybrid , other than that I couldn't find a double valve spring for el non hybrid , I'll give them a call , or get the atomic springs sly el suggested

its in the link i posted, page 3, table under the crossflow one
3 part numbers........ 1st is XR spec, 2nd are little more stiffer, and 3rd is the doubles i think you could get away with the middle ones.......... double springs put more pressure wear & tear on the valvetrain |
