Will 1.740" od valvespring cups fit in b1 originals. They appear to be very close to the centre and outer head stud washers.

The cups were supplies by koffels with my valve spring pkg and they advertise they can be machined to 1.750".

any help would be appreciated. Rob

I would say yes as I run a 1.625 valve spring. I assume you are talking about inside diameter.

No cups on mine but I run a 1.677 valvespring. My guess is yes they shoudl fit but we dont use them with our 1100 open springs.

The springs are 1.550" but the cup they sit in has a od of 1.740".

It sounds like most people are using locators under there springs.

Al, maybe it would be easier to just order spring locators, i kind of like the idea of the cups.

The springs are K 1100S.

No issues here with no cups. We have well over 500 passes on the heads now. Spring pressure is 1100 open and we use titanium valves, heads look as good as new till. About 100 passes on fresh motor now.
