Re: [T3] engine rebuild question


<x-flowed>The short one is the earliest design. The longer grooved one was introduced with the 1500S engine and is a better choice, it'll keep your oil cooler than the earlier one.

I removed all the head bolts and the oil pressure valve. I note that I have two different styles. The springs are the same length but the thingy at the end (don't know what it is called) is shorter in one engine than the other. The difference is small, 5 mm (3/16) but I would imagine that this has an impact on oil pressure. Does anyone know what the difference would be?
