First, my apologies. I know this has probably been asked before but my search didn't reveal the info I was looking for. I plan on changing my valve springs to Comp Cams 980's. What is the correct installed height for these springs and how do I check it? I own a dial caliper. Is it possible to use it to check installed height? I have access to mic's and depth gauges if I need them. What kind of tolerance are we talking about? I'm thinking not too close since they're springs. Is 0.005" close enough on installed height? I plan on installing them w/o the stock cups (which are under the retainer, right?) but with the dampers (inner spring) supplied by Comp Cams. Forgive me, I've never had my valve covers off! Also, is there an inverted cup (oil deflector) between the spring and the head? If there is, should I feed it to the dog or leave it in there? I just wanna make sure I get this right. Any help would be appreciated! Just kidding about the dog.
