Valve spring pressure

Ed McLawhorn Jr. · 01-24-2021, 08:24 PM

On a dual valve spring with the inner spring slightly shorter, when checking spring pressure with rimac tester, do you need to account for the inner lip from retainer. When spring is on head and closed, the inner spring is not at same level as outer. Valve spring tester is flat and contact with inner spring is about .060 lower. I know I'm rambling, but maybe someone understands my question. Thanks.
