Only noticeable because I was watching for it. A very small deflection on the needle and it's just before it ramps up to where there would be any heavy spring pressure. That is if one considered 40 lbs to be 'heavy spring pressure'. The valve assemblies I have sorted through and chosen are a good set of rotator style assemblies from a friend's merc that he harvested a crank out of.
I have a feeling that this 276" stroker, with it's 4.03 first geared T5 will pull the old wooden wagon up my gravel mountain road with relative ease.
