Expert Posts: 2120 Location: atlanta | Picked up my crank today, polished out STD. Block turned in should go .030, turned in the heads for checking, will need new springs due to cam change, Clevite R & M bearings ordered, and a new Flowkooler WP on the table. | ||

Expert Posts: 2120 Location: atlanta | I'm thinking single damper, like a 340 mopar spring, will let cam grinder spec the springs, but thanks for the reminder. | ||

Yes, there are two different diameters for OEM LA springs. The 'stronger' spring being bigger, however, many aftermarket suppliers have blurred the line and make a multitude of springs in varying diameters. Since we don't know what the cam profile is we can't guess on the needed spring. | ||
