ok i had decided to go with the heads as-is i talked to the auto shop that did the work so im convinced they are fine but here's the q
i took the springs off the old 882 heads (they were double springs) and put them on my 441 heads BUT the shims had a larger ID and a smaller OD than the area cut for them,kinda like a spring going into a hole too big for it,
i went ahead and installed them but im wondering if they will walk or not since the shim is under the spring load
is this normal? the 882 heads fit perfect but these have smaller guide's and larger spring circles cut, but they are the same height as the 882's
need pics some will be up by 4:15 cst
