Did anyone else come across this problem, I would like to know what year they apparently changed to the beehive style valve springs.

Cheap heads. Don’t know what year these came off of

I hope noone buys these...I asked if he disassembled them and he said yes... that's a huge no no. Those are trash now unless maybe you are a master tech. The ladders are disassembled and ruined.

LOL, they are not ruined. How do you think they build motors, do valve jobs, and replace the valve guides, etc.

I sold a pair of heads like this to a forum
Member. Heads are installed and car is very closed to being tuned. How do you think people install c2 cams? Have to remove the ladder to removed the oem exhaust cam.

They can be rebuilt. MA-Motorsports can do it.
