My superior kit just arrived, and I am a bit daunted.
I've read through this thread exhaustively, as well as the instructions from the superior kit and some other threads. Please, please tell me if this is all correct, please, someone:
I have an early, soft 2/3 and flaring, mushy 3/4.
I need, therefore, to replace the K1 & K2 accumulator valve springs, which require the
VB to be removed, de-filtered, and turned upside-down before lifting off the lower
VB. The separator plate must remain conspicuously in place, against the thicker, upper valve body (now on the bottom) to prevent the loss / misplacement of the check balls. I would do well to drop a few of the 15
VB bolts in loosely to keep the separator plate in place, maybe from the top before inverting the unit onto a clean surface. This modification improves 2/3 timing and firms both 2/3 and 3/4 somewhat.
I will be installing the "normal firm shift" for 2/3 and the "even more firm" for the 3/4, as the 3/4 has always been mushy and 2/3 is soft, but fine in a pinch. For the "even more firm" 3/4, I will be retaining the original small spring coaxially inside the replaced large red spring *edit* for 2 spring trains, pink alone for 3s*edit*. This can be done without pulling the
VB, but since I'm doing accumulator valve springs, I still need to pull the
VB; might do it best all at once.
Have I got this all correct? I'm not made of time, money, or extra cars, and I want to be certain that I've got the basic idea before doing the driveway backstroke.
