valve sprig life
BB Chevy 502 crate, stock, comp cams spring 2 yrs old. Springs tested between 200-240, I assume a bad one would be about 160?
Thanks, Bob Smith |

Re: valve sprig life
Bob it looks like the factory springs are around 130 to 140, 200 to 240 seems way to much for a hyd lifter. the big question is will it cause a intake pop on the upper RPM range like you have seen....

Re: valve sprig life
I'm using Brodix' GA1000 springs on their racerite heads .708/.708 solid roller and I get 2 yrs out of them. 450-500 passes.
