I have a set of 1984 351 windsor heads and on the valves in the center of the springs theres these red like vibration dampers what are they there for and can I get rid of them? I was gonna go with a double valve spring setup and it wouldnt fit in there with those springs:shrug:

Nah if there the valve seals I was going to replace them anyway so when I got the new ones I'd know but I think they are dampeners they sit halfway up the valve stem in the spring and are almost as large as the spring in diameter and I have never seen them before on any other 5.0/351 I got the heads used but they have been ported and valve job.Just not new springs I have no idea why.:shrug:Any other takers just to make sure? I mean if I screwed up the valvetrain after dumpin this money into the engine I'd really be F****** pizt
 
your fine man, this is what you are looking at right? Single spring with damper?
