> Hi Joe.  I'm getting ready to put together the cylinder head (late TR-4/4A)
for my TR-3 engine rebuild.  I've got new valves and guides, but I'm still
looking for a source for competition valve springs and collars.  When I was
racing, I used Isky springs and collars, but Isky no longer supplies parts for
the TR-4 engine.  Do you know of a good source for these?  I'm thinking Ken
Gillanders may be a good source, but I've lost his contact info.  Do you have
an email address or phone number for Ken?

> Also, I'm looking for the specs for valve spring pressures when assembled,
both at full lift and when the valve is closed.  I'm planning to use a Kastner
'D' cam, or something close to that (know anyone who has one of these for
sale?).  Do you know the valve spring pressure specs?  Ken may also be a good
source for these.  Perhaps you could forward my questions along to the FOT
list?  As usual, thanks for your help.
