Valve Springs
This is actually a question involving a 996.2 but is about whether to replace my valve springs on my 2003 996.2 with 75,000 miles which I figure you long time engine builders would have some good input on. Reason for tear down was a broken valve spring on #3 on the left exhaust valve. I am asking if you all would go ahead and replace all the springs while I am in here and maybe do a refresh of the valves with a quick lapping? I am going to do a couple of more minor upgrades while I am at it and just looking for thoughts on whether you would pull the other head as well and just do them too. Spring broke clean and while a keeper took out a Scavenger pump in the head all else seems good. Main oil pump is fine so I am cleaning the sump and going from there. Engine already has an IMS solution on it, new water pump, AOS, Rear main seal and idlers. Any thoughts here would be greatly appreciated.
