math class needed on valve springs

FireSale · 12-10-2018, 11:05 PM

What's the application here? It doesn't really make sense to talk pressures when we don't know what is being asked of the engine. I run PAC 1427 springs - conical for a BBC - in a SBF with NASCAR type iron heads. Stuff gets mixed up when all you want is GO...

Note: A PAC 1409x at 1.8 will give you pressures of 175/384. I'd give up on a 1.78 IS, it's too hard to shim to. 1.8 or 1.85 are common.

Note 2: What is the seat size?

Ask questions and give info. I didn't so I have 4 sets of springs now............
