Understanding Valve Springs - Part 2

In this episode of Steve Tech, Steve Morris picks up from the Part 1 video to explain what you need to know for proper valve spring set up and how to prevent spring surge.

Top notch mr Morris !

[@grantk.3860]

Thank you for sharing your awesome knowledge!

[@jaysfasttoys]

Interesting, thanks for the tech tip

[@bryanemerson5619]

This was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.

[@AndyB718]

Ty for taking the time and explaining it,so it's understandable.

[@boharris8179]

I've watched this video a couple times and it still look up SteveTech to be reassured I'm making the right decision buying expensive conical springs or at least Ti retainers

[@marcwalker9035]

Valuable..explanation 😮

[@glenbrannon7224]

Awesome information!

[@john-martin]

Thank you, very well and clearly said.

[@RickHopfingerJustAddWaterHydro]

welcome to the sme institute, great vids thanks

[@davidsawyer1599]

Appreciate the info. Have a suggestion. If possible load videos in order in the playlist. In other words the playlist plays the latest video first instead of the first in a series. Thank you.

I like the single beehive except it lacks the redundancy of multiple springs. If the beehive breaks, there's maximum valve-piston damage. Good for machine shop business though.

Easier to understand, the spring begins to bounce at hi rpms when coil bind is more than 100/1000" 😅

Hello my friend, I would love to know if you can tell me what's the max lift these springs can handle, here are the springs specs: seat load 136 lbs @ 1.800'' , open 412 lbs @ 1.170'' , spring rate 438 lbs/in and coil bind 1.125'' , thanks in advance

[@montestu5502]

0.615” if you are shooting 0.060” from coil bind. 1.800” - 1.125” - 0.060” = 0.615”

Can you use springs from a cast iron head on aluminum head

[@russellhueners8499]

One engine builder on you tube had a .010 clearance on his head set up, came here to check,,yeh I was rite 050-.080

[@michaelvanparis9236]

Russel, Just asking but…Was he measuring his .010 in between the coils or was he actually .010” from coil bind? because if he was measuring in between spring coils and there’s 6 coils then he’s right in the range that would in fact be .060” from coil bind.

[@michaelwalker4799]

IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO BIND AT FLOAT IT WILL BAERLY BIMD IN DOING THIS ITV WILL RESET THE SURGE I SET BIND AT .050

Oh...😑
