Just did a search on "spring-loaded" at
shoptalkforums.com and a quick look shows just about
as many people who say, "NO! Don't!!" as do "yeah,
they work perfect with the expansion/contraction of
the engine/heads." Go figure. I just remembered a
thread somewhere (maybe on shoptalkforums? Couldn't
find it this time) that threw such a fright in me
regarding these that I put it on my "never use" list.
I guess YMMV.
