install these valve spring seat cups. A minimum valve spring counterbore diameter of
1.65" will be required.
2) The valve spring cups require the removal of the valve stem seals to be installed.
recommend replacing the old valve seals with new valve seals. New valve seals should be

cups. If the installed height of the valve spring needs to be decreased a valve spring shim may
be installed between the spring cup and the cylinder head.
