Andy,

Yes, there was a design change toward the end of the 1725 production that was
a different spring set, but I think this was a cost reduction, bottom line is 
to set your
spring tensions with shims at a reputable head rebuilder and you could use 
either.

Sure, but even if the trans is in neutral, the output shaft will spin, which 
might spew 
some oil out the open rear.


HTH,
