For a TR6 engine, I used Isky valve springs VWE005SP116 With 320lbs/in rate=
 (5.72kgs/mm). With an installed height of 33.8mm and full open height of 2=
1.3mm, seat pressure is 34kgs (about 75 lbs) and 105kgs (230lbs) at full li=
ft.=20
So lift is 12.5mm/0.49in and then the seat pressure is already rather low. =
Coil bind height of these springs is about 18mm so a bit more lift is possi=
ble. It there is enough material thickness, the seats for the springs can b=
e reamed out to get the necessary clearance between the windings.=20

Try British Frame and Engine. They are not as stiff as the Isky Springs, bu=
t can tolerate more lift. Be sure you have adequate seat pressure as well a=
s sufficient pressure at full lift, per your cam specs. These work well wit=
h the Tilden 298 cam from Ken Knight.=20

I bought my Isky dual spring set through Ted Schumacher to match his cam th=
at he also sold me. Works great. Talk to him about the details.=20

I=E2=80=99m trying to accommodate a high lift cam/rocker combination and th=
e Isky springs (VWE005/SP116) I=E2=80=99ve been using will be right at full=
 bind with this combo.=20
What are you all using - I=E2=80=99m looking for something that can handle =
about 0.54=E2=80=9D of net valve lift.=20

Let me know what spring mfr/part number you are using and I=E2=80=99ll take=
 it from there.=20

Thanks!=20
