George Anderson Hi George Nobody should have to go though these kind of problems with helicoils coming out of heads. If Mike didnot bind the springs with a huge cam or rockers that hit the spring plates, this is another case of DOVE crap. George Have a nice thanksgiving with your family.
Michael C Henry How big a cam is in your motor?? Do you have good rocker arm clearance though the whole movement?? Is it possible you have spring binding?? A poor machine job at Dove could have caused this problem too. The center 2 bolts take more stress than the otherside ones, the stands break on the outsides. Put a flat gauge across the mount holes and make sure the head machined flat, If the center 2 mounts are lower this will put added stress on the studs. Hope this helps. Rick Lake
