    I will be pulling my Stg. 2 TE's apart to check the valves for warpage and alittle valve lapping, and to check out the valve springs. The springs have under 100 passes, and were coated, and here's the question should I just check a few intake springs, and a few exhausts, one set of each, or every spring? I bought a spring tension gage from Jegs, you use your shop vice, should work pretty good, and at least give me an idea of the tension at installed height, and at full lift. Anything else I should check??
    Thanks, Gary G.

    Go ahead and check them all. Take a picture of the port work while you have them apart...
