Should have sent them to Jim Valako. You would have got the right springs, proper guide clearances , lubricated guides, and he could have improved the exhaust port while he had them.

Some folks (I lied it was BB) got all butthurt when Valako said the AFR exhaust port could be improved. Seems like a moot point when they can`t get a couple sets of heads with the right springs put together.

Poor guy who got Tims head and is thinking hes got a solid roller spring package! ooooops!

AFR discontinued use of the pioneer spring sometime late last year, when I talked to AFR he told me that there wasn't even a blue/black stripe spring (pioneer) in there facility when the order was placed for my heads, they were gone long before that. I placed that phone call to get it all straight to assure my builder, and had them send me pics of the pioneer spring with the blue/black stripe to confirm. The pac spring has a green stripe on them, if it has a blue/black stripe it is a pioneer spring.
Actually it is green.... Thought blue oops looking at pic a couple posts down that's what I got is geeen

Well, FWIW, this is what Jegs lists as the specs for the green stripe AFR springs. It lists a spring rate of 645 lb/in - does that sound right? Take it for what it's worth, I would verify your spring rates with a spring tester. It doesn't say if this is the PAC spring, so it might be something different.

BTW, have you verified that you have the inconel exhaust valves? At this point, I would be verifying everything about those heads.
