why the stupid valve spring rule ?
Speaking of valve springs what's the open/closed specs on the various CJ and DP springs?Seems like someone said once on here that if you limited the open pressure specs then all the exotic stuff you see now would be useless and more parity would result.
If you limit the older combos and the factory specs on the new cars are somewhere near the front end coil spring #s on my car,then you hurt the older combos even more than they are now.Can someone explain this in a rational manner?
