I have a question I would like to get answered. I see that a lot of people are using the 340 springs in the /6 heads with the bigger valves the question I have is are you running the double spring setup or a single spring setup? the 340's I ran used a double spring set up so just trying to figure out what I need for my /6. Thanks |

The factory 340 spring is really a single spring with an inner "flat wire" damping coil... it looks like a double spring but it's not. DD |

The reason I ask is that I found a set of 340 springs on ebay for 38.00 and asked the same qustion and the seller told me they were a single spring and I know that I had a double setup so what is everyone running springs with or without the coils. Thanks |

Is $38.00 a good price for a set of 12 new springs |

Why? The damper is there to reduce spring surge.

Do you need to take metal off the spring seat area in order to use the damper? |

The 340 spring drops right in no machining required. I do use larger retainers though. We've been over the retainer issue before. I even posted pictures. |

do you happen to know or have a good part number for the retainers and if I understand you correctly I should be looking for springs with the dampners installed |

The Comp Cams retainer in a set of 12 is 744-12 or a set of 16 as 744-16. The 340 type springs are 901-16. It's more expensive to buy 12 individual 901 springs than the set of 16. I wish Comp had the 901 spring in a set of 12, but it doesn't appear that they have anything other than individual springs or sets of 16. |
