340 X Head Valve Options

Took the heads apart. Looks like one of the sources of the oil consumption were these stem seals.

Also found that the “double springs” are actually double springs. These are not the stock 340 springs are they? The have a main spring, a damper, and then a second spring.

The retainers are all junk. Again, this could have been bad.

Also, looks like these heads have been off the car, maybe a cam swap. There were shims under the springs and the stem seals are different than stock ones I have seen in the past. Does not look like a valve job was done before though.
