I have 85 lbs. pressure on the intake valve with the valve closed and it sits at a height of 1.655 inches. At .400 lift, I have 190 lbs. of pressure. We only run to 6000 RPM with the gearing we have

These are very light springs. I would run 250 seat pressure and 500 at full lift. Cheers Chris Von: Fot [mailto:fot-bounces at autox.team.net] Im Auftrag von timmmurphh-- via Fot Gesendet: Dienstag,

I know I?m working with a very different engine - GT6 - thus smaller valves, but the closed seat pressure is 65 lb and the open pressure is 233 lb at 0.53? lift. This is per the cam designer. I?ve be

I would be EXTREMELY careful with too high a spring pressure. Been there, done that! If you go by all the STD calculations, theories and what you 'should have' texts. It will tell you need HIGH sprin

This post has been swirling around in my head all day... Since We have always run 65 lbs closed pressure for the GT6 motors with several different cam lift scenarios... My initial thought and answer

+1 for John's numbers. I'm running Isky's TR-777 cam in my TR4 with the same specs John reported. I routinely spin my nitrided balanced stock crank and balanced/lightened shot peened stock rods to 6K

Depends on the cam and accelerations the valve train needs to deal with as well as the weight of the valve train components. For the Larry Young Dx-298 cam, 100 lbs seat pressure is recommended. I ru

Hello Tim, Generally speaking your spring height should be set at 1.600 with something north of 100 lbs seat pressure. With a cam of only .400 valve lift you should have at least 210 lbs at full lift

Thanks for all of your responses. We are going to add 0.030 shim to give 1.625 in spring height with valve on seat for a spring pressure of 95 lbs. At valve full open with .342 max cam lift and 1.5 r

I agree with Brian's figures. He has been reliably racing his TR powered Morgan for years. David Newman (Newman Cams England) was saying 110 on the seat and I think 225 at full lift was sufficient (I

Unless your valve gear is extremely light weight, you should probably be running at least 105 lbs of pressure on the seat with the valve closed. A G3 cam is a pretty aggressive grind that is designed

Those are pretty close to the stock springs. Most likely your engine guy is used to big American V8's with heavy valve trains. I got very interested in cams and valve train dynamics when I started ra
