"why switch to the TL exhaust springs??"
"protects from over-rev. a tip i got from paul"

They are stronger then the stock A2 springs so theres less of a chance of dropping a valve at higher rpms.
I think you can reuse the stock retainers. Ask Paul.

I'm running the 08 TLS exhaust springs. The spring rate is a bit stiffer so its really better insurance of chance of over rev and bending all your exhaust valves. I'm also running the 08 TLS cams. They are forged hollow core so it spins a bit more feely and the lift is a bit higher. When they are in the head, The clearance from the lobe to the head is close. They are not direct drop in and need a spacer to work. It was too bad I didn't have a before and after dyno of the cams as I did a bunch of other work when I had my heads opened up.

I wonder why no one mentioned going all out while your in there. If your going to change the valves and do the adjustments why not put in new valve springs and retainers. They finally make a performance set-up for our motors. A little pricey though...

KMS Springs are $180 and the retainers are $120.

If i go with the 08 TLS parts, are just the exhaust springs needed? Or both? Also, are new retainers needed for the TL parts?
How much extra time is involved if doing a valve adjustment already, does the whole head have to be removed?
And if i buy the KMS parts, it doesnt matter that everything else internal is stock?

every thing else can be left stock inside.
u dont need to remove the heads to do the valve adjustment or to install the spring.
just have a compressor, take out the spark plug. get one of those compression testers, screw it into the spark plug hole, and hook up the compressor line to the other end. than the cylinder will have compressed air and the valve wont fall down, just make sure that ur at TDC so the valves are both closed
