No a used valvespring can't be checked properly. Just replaced.

why can't you check a used valvespring?

Is there a noticeable diference between the WWE piston kit and the stock? would you guys suggest any other parts to add while the engine is apart?

I called black widow today and it turns out i have to wait untill at least august 25th to order parts:(

Let me know what you need for parts. I have several used heads, valves, springs, .....etc.

You can check it for pressure and if it's straight but you can't check it at a molecular level. A spring only springs so many times and progressively loses its memory. That memory is not necessarily just pressure but can also be speed. Valvesprings are junk before the rings in the piston.

molecular level? You can check your springs at the 2 spec points and if they are in spec you are good. you are not going to see a speed degredation without a height/pressure change as well. Yes, they do loose form due to memory but again, you would see the pressure change at that point.

Just a friendly FYI, but your lower a arms are on the wrong side of your quad. I can't tell if the top ones are. I'd have to see a picture from above the arms.I can tell by looking that those are Herrmann racing arms. I bet it handles like a dream. HAha

You might want to fix that.
