Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
If you go to an old time hardware store, you can find all kinds of springs for sale and often a mfr source you can contact if you do not find what you want. I have a selection of different pressure-rate-length springs that I have used depending on conditions. As a rule, the springs provided in the various kits or sources in the hot rod industry are too weak.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Using just and inner spring works well also. Enjoying following your build. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
I usually check mine without the head gasket then add back in what ever gasket thickness I am using. That way you know the head is sitting flat on the deck. I have made it a habit to check all 8 holes on an initial build too.
