I'm willing to bet you went from a 97 or older body to a 98 or newer. After 97, they drilled the valve chambers deeper, and that is what's different. Pick up a spring kit, and find on that is close to the old spring, and replace it.


: This might be a noob question... I just bought a new Autococker body. When I went to move the valve (a MacDev Red) from my old body to the new one, the valve spring seems *way* too short for the new body; so short that once the valve has been fastened down, the valve spring isn't compressed at all. You can hear the spring rattling in the body & there is no tension on the valve pin. So my question is this: do valve springs come in various lengths for different bodies, or is there something fubar with my new body, or am I possibly just doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated...
