kelfords are known to do that so, tunning will be needed asap so you can have the right idle...

all answers point to: get a tune. A tuner definitely can raise the idle thru software. Do not fiddle with the throttle body that is calibrated for a reason.

I ran through and re-scaled the maf around idle, and mine idles really nice with the a/c on, and still has a bit of the bumpity bump with the a/c off. Took about 10 minutes to run through and do that.

So which method did you use to swap out the springs and retainers.
Head removal, air compressor in plug holes or the manual crankshaft
turning with rachet?

i used the air compressor in plug holes to keep cylinder aired up so the valves didnt drop...

i've been searching for a while on the Spring Retainer Seat install. In the How to thread, several guys in the discussion section had the pistons move when applying pressure.
One guy tried leaving it in gear wit the emergency brake on etc.. and still had it move, screwing up his timing.
Is there a sure fire way to use the air compressor method without the the piaton(s) slipping timing?
I'm getting ready to do this with a Kelford cam install and would sure like to know.
Not interested in theories, just experience & proven results. Thanks!
