Again, just my 2c. |
We used to relieve the valve springs on our HIGH LIFT (cam) Mountain Motors.
I've been told it's a waste of time because a spring doesn't lose its memory but with the money we had in a motor, why take a chance?
FWIW, I *have* had springs lose memory but not from sitting compressed. They were from overheating and then sitting compressed.
