And that's JUST the valve!


Good info krisr! I have a couple questions for anyone that cares to reply.

1. Does the weight of the complete valvetrain affect the spring pressure required? I assume it does.

2. Would the use of beehive springs help fight the possibility of overloading the lifters & are there compatible beehives available?

3. Are there any relatively light 2.11 intake valves available at a somewhat reasonable price?

Thanks
