Default 944s valve spring installed height?

As the title states.....

Looking to measure my 16v installed height vs factory.

My head has a dual spring setup and I want to see what it comes out to.

TIA

The Porsche 16V supplement to the 944 Workshop Manuals shows how to do it, and has specs too. What are you trying to do?

FYI, the ORIGINAL 944S springs had more spring travel to coil bind than the S2 springs. A year or two ago the part was superceded to the S2 spring, though. DON'T us SSF S2 valve springs. They are not OEM Porsche and vary in pressure and distance to CB.

If you need a good alternative to the factory spring due to lots of cam lift, I have a solution. If you don't need them though, the factory springs are really good.
