That's correct. Not the valve spring, but the spring that
is around the upper portion of the lifter insert.
I was looking at the old original part that I removed three
or four years ago. the spring in the original part was
heavier and the reproduction part.
I'm going to check all of the old original parts that I
have saved. Get them cleaned up and disassembled and
check for any wear or potential bad areas.

Got some paint remover and dabbed it on the head nuts to
remove the paint. wife's sons are visiting this weekend,
so I will enlist their help to remove the hood and get it
stored. They helped remove the hood about 5 years ago
when I started the project. Lined up an engine hoist from a friend so I can safely lift off the head after I get it loosened.

Hop that the old lifter inserts check of Okay.
