Subject: Poor quality reproduction parts
We are assembling a cylinder head for a customer with a TR-4 engined Morgan
+4. We had to replace the valve springs. The new springs which we got from
Moss Motors only give 60# of pressure with valves on the seat at the correct
installed hight. If you don't have 80 to 85# on the seat, I know from
experience that the exhaust valves will burn in about 12,000 miles. TRF is
out of stock. I don't know about Victoria British, I suppose we will try
them next. Racing springs are 50% stronger and will work, but I feel that
they will accelerated wear because of the added loading. Every time we
complain to Moss their reaction is always that "we don't get complaints from
anyone but you" or people don't drive their cars enough miles for it to make
any difference" The only way we are going to start getting consistently go
quality parts is to complain loud, clear and offen, whenever it is
warranted.
