On the 525's valves are a bigger issue then the springs. But. call Tom at Champion Racing Heads near Daytona. 386 446-4488. He just worked on my 525 heads and very reasonable. They will check the springs for specs and won't sell you stuff you don't nee. Tell him Peter sent you.

Thanks for the many inputs! I'm gassed up and going
