For the Lemon's TR6 I opened up a stock pair, pulled the valves and added a washer, soldered the assembly in place under tension and used 30 WT oil. They behaved very well on track. <br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Sep 9, 2015, at 8:24 AM, Brian Schirano <<a href="mailto:bschirano@yahoo.com">bschirano@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441799077434_14236"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441799077434_14263">I put a higher performance set of valve bodies from a catalog in last year.

I've also read about adjusting the springs in the valve body to adjust dampening - tighten the nut on the rebound spring 2 to 4 full turns, and add a spacer of .040" to .080" under the compression spring. Any members have experience with these spring adjustments?
