This is my first post. I’ve pulled the 440 engine in my 1968 Chrysler 300 due to a few oil leaks and I had just purchased the car 2 years ago from an older guy who hadn’t run it for years. Everything is in pretty good shape. It looks like the timing chain and sprockets, camshaft and lifters have all been changed but I think they re used the old valve springs. Several of the springs had multiple shims added. So I am needing to replace the valve springs and valve seals. I’m having troubles finding valve springs that have the original specs. They all seem to be much stiffer. These are the least stiffest I could find. Will they work? COMP Cams 924-16: Dual Valve Springs Outer Spring O.D.: 1.509 in. - JEGS High Performance
I’ve included the specs from my service manual.
The second issue I have is the manifold heat control valve. It is missing pieces and I’m having trouble getting a replacement parts. I only drive this car in the summer. Can I just delete it?
This is my first project. I have no mechanical experience but really enjoying the learning experience.
