Valve spring tension for TR-4A

Folks, in my role as the VTR TR4 vehicle consultant, I received the following 
e-mail from katzens4@ridgecrest.ca.us.  I can't find any specs for valve 
spring tension in my references.  The only data I have assumes that one has 
the correct valve springs and then specifies valve spring clearances. 

Anyone able to help him out?  Please reply directly to him (copy me, if you'd 
like) at: 

katzens4@ridgecrest.ca.us 

Thanks.

Art Kelly
