Hello,
I am new to the forum but i have been reading it for a while. First of all sorry for any typo's (i am dutch).
I own a 1968 i6 200Ci mustang and am in the progress of rebuilding my engine. Now, i don't have much engine building experience especially classics, in-fact this is the first pushrod engine I've worked on. I do however have a good understanding of engines.
So far I completely disassembled my engine so i could check/replace every part. While disassembling the head i found that the valve springs had a red finish, so i don't think they are stock(correct me if i am wrong). This made me think that if someone would replace the springs it was because he/she installed a hotter cam. Or would it just be part of rebuilding the head?
So my question is: are there any marking/casting codes on the stock cam? I cant find any on the cam i pulled out.
Thanks in advance.
