Valve Spring seats with supertech springs
Im currently having some work done on my 1.6 head. I have oversize inlet and exhaust valves to go with higher lift cams and i am about to buy some supertech valve springs.
I notice supertech also make valve spring seats for their springs. Are they are requirement when fitting their uprated springs or are the standard seats compatible with the springs?
Thanks
Mike

You use seats with dimensions you need to get the pressures you want.
IIRC the ST seats are optional to place on top of the stock seats. But the best is to make new ones with the exact height your builder wants. The seats are not moving so make them in whatever material that can handle the abuse of the springs (weight is not important).

to remove the old "shim" its usually referred to as a washer. use a magnet. simple
the supertech springs are shorter than the oem springs so the supertech spring seats are needed
install the spring seat with no washer under it. then the spring followed by the retainer. the spring wont dig into the supertech spring seat and the seat wont dig into the head.

Thanks, thats great. It worked really well.
One final question (i hope.) In the center of the small washer/shim. There looks to be a thicker washer which is help in with a clip around the valve guide. Is this the washer or is it part of the head? Does the clip need to be removed to fit the ST seats?
