Turbo Diesel Valve Springs in a 16V?

[rocco16v at netzero.net (L F)]

If that 16V is stock, trying to rev to 8000 will be counter productive anyway....even with springs that will control the valves at that rpm.

  A 16V question for tha list...


  A friend of mine is planning on building up a 16V head very soon.

  Does anyone know if there are there any advantages of replacing the stock valve springs on a 16V with
  those from mk2 Turbo Diesel?  I've heard that the Turbo Diesel springs are stiffer than the stock 16V
  ones, and allow for revs up to 8000rpm with no valve float.

  Any comments?

  Thanks.
