500efi Valve Springs, Help??
I know this has been covered before, but I feel I need to replace my Valve springs, I have a 2001 500efi w/ 280 hours.
1. Exactly what needs to be replaced, Valve springs, Lifters,??? and what mfg would you replace with, I have been told Isky??
2. Anyone personally suggest a mech in VA ?? to do the work?
All input is really appreciated when it comes to engines

Will,
if your interested I have set of NEW ISKY 8005-A springs for that setup.
They are currently on my new heads but I'm upgrading them for a larger cam.
$75 delivered.

27 Fountain, I'm in the same position with the same year and engine and hours. I'm replacing just the springs with stock Merc. They have worked for me this many hours, so.....

Time for a new set of lifters if ya ask me. Ever seen a block explode when a lifter roller pin comes loose and hits the bottom of the lifter bore? Not a pretty site at all. And while you're at it, a new set of crane 1.8:1 rocker arms will pick up a bit of power for you.

But it will put your mind at ease about the the shape of your piston rings. Asuming the test is good.
