I really don't know off the top of my head, and I don't have my haynes.

Do you have a haynes or helmes manual to look at?

BTW, Haynes does have it and mostother specs, although Helms is the way to go, Haynes will suffice in this case. They're only $15

if you're looking for the spring free length..

intake ------- 2.158 in
exhaust----- 2.216 in


-------------------------------------------------

I wouldnt recomment doing the adjustment yourself. It's quiet easy to mee up something in there. Error margin is small.


If the numbers I gave you werent what you were looking for..
Just le me know..


Well good luck!

well i gotta say that i do not have any clue how you call them in english, I know all my things in my language, and sometimes i really mess things up.

Isn't that the lenght of the spring ? BTW what does it happen when u do a valve adjustament ? What do they adjust ? That's what i want to do.
