Modern valve spring seat pressure
Does anyone know the spring seat pressure with new modern valves springs verses original valve springs? They are about 1/8" longer and wider diameter so was wondering if the seat pressure would be much greater than original springs. It would seem more spring pressure it would be harder on cam gear and lobes. They sure seem harder to compress and put the retainer and keepers on. Thanks, Tom

Re: Modern valve spring seat pressure
Got a bathroom scale and a drill press? Put a spring on there and compress it to the installed height then compare the two. It won't be as accurate as a Rimac professional spring tester but certainly close enough for what you want. BTW, size is not always everything, they just might check the same.
