These are the valve springs that should be with my cam (well, heads):
p/n 73121 per Summit.
Number of Springs Per Valve: Dual
Outside Diameter of Outer Spring (in): 1.526
Coil Bind Height (in): 1.150
Damper Spring Included: Yes
Spring Rate (lbs/in): 377
Inside Diameter of Outer Spring (in): 1.135
Inside Diameter of Inner Spring (in): .775
Valve Spring Style: Standard
Coated: No
Quantity: Sold as a set of 16
Here is the application and what I remember being written on the heads (the 140lbs part)
Recommended Camshaft Style Flat tappet solid
Installed Height (in) 1.940
Seat Pressure at Installed Height (lbs) 140
Open Height (in) 1.250
Open Pressure (lbs) 400
First off, the pic (which probably doesn't tell much), makes it look like one. But, I can take these apart and use the outers only to break-in, right? Or is this spring rate not to 'heavy'? I don't really know the difference, so thought I'd ask so I can learn. Thanks..
