OK, too many uncertainties here. I am leaning toward the kit for $1,427 from Bam if everything else looks good. My engine does not appear to suffer from any problems with valve float or bounce so why change to higher spring seat pressure if it's not needed? This will just increase stress and wear on the valvetrain and also parasitic drag. IMO.

or you put in longer valves,push rods,another set of valve cover gaskets to help clear the rocker set up.then you have a whole bunch of springs to choose from.just saying

third child, I just recently talked to Eddie Young about this as I'm doing the top ends on mine. I wouldn't even consider buying the Merc parts for that kind of money, there are way to many better alternatives out there.

Such as? Just wondering what he offered as a better choice.

Any reputable machine shop can determine your spring rates. I just did two 900sc for $1400. Springs, retainers, keepers, and seals. I just did them in august and we've put 37 hard hours on them without any issues.
