Just got the springs in.. and there were 4 brass colored rings included.. I take it they go between the retainer and springs and head and springs?
Is that correct doug?

Valves have shipped from Kibblewhite! :usa
If you have already paid for your valves, good job!
Now the bad news! Kibblewhite has raised the prices, charged me more than planned. :cry:
$239.00 is the new price!
Retail is going to be $259.00.
Kibblewhite will not sell these individually, they are exclusive, and have to be ordered in batches of 20.

any way you can post a pic of the install of the springs... and washers.. I installed according to timbos.. but it would be nice for someone to post the correct install pic!!!
What I was told to do.. was
1) Remove retainer, clips and old springs!! no brainer there
2) Remove the valve seal (blue cap)
3) Remove the bottom retainer..
4) Drop 1 washer down where the bottom retainer was
5) Drop the bottom retainer in place
6) Install new springs, retainer.. compress and then last clips
anything I am missing or doing wrong.. anything that I have to watch out for?

I think Doug may be talking about my engine. I hope so. That would be cool to see pics of the build.

First there is NO "C" in Dembek!!
LOL
Yes, I did replace the valve seals!!
How to install the new springs..
Tip you have to remove the valve seal.. and the bottom retainer... the spacer (washer) goes first ...

One more time.Has anyone gotten the Kibblewhite valves yet!I am way past my deadline and now missing out on some races waiting.Need to know if I should just give up on them and go with stockers.For all you companies that make promises for delivery.You absolutely suck!!!Next year you can count on having some competition for business because I guarantee I will have valves made by one of your competitors.I know this is not Haydugs or Timbos fault whatsoever they can only go by what the companies tell them.R&D valvesprings begged for Cannondale work and we didnt bother because Kibblewhites were "on the way"from now on no more counting on one company.Lesson learned rant over.:mad:
