Valve Spring Woes

[Mikey_Boy]

Hello folks,

Me again.. The 2.8 saga continues! Managed to get a 288 cam and some uprated rockers...

I thought that I had valve springs sorted, but it seems all the supplier has done is taken the money from my credit card and not supplied parts... Why is doing anything in the UK so difficult??!! Another problem to solve..

Anyway - bottom line is that I need advice on springs and where to get them - do I just need to ring up Ant with a shopping list??

My assumption is I will need something like Schrick double valve springs, but I am open to suggestions!

Thanks all,
Cheers,

Mikey_Boy

What rpm´s are you going to be running?

If your cam is a Schrick unit you'll find that Schrick list their valve springs as "suggested" but not "necessary". Me, I just went with their springs because I could get a set at a price too good to pass up.

Thanks guys - I have set myself a 7500 limit. With the 288 cam I figure peak is going to be about 6800ish, change up at 7200 and 7500 limit in case I need to hang onto a gear in a corner or because of my over enthusiasm...!

I would get some schricks as a miniumum
