RHS heads with 1.44" O.D. valvespring?

I got my heads about 2-3 years ago also. I actually have a hydraulic cam, but it's those tricked-out Schubeck/Smith lifters that are popular in Stock class racing. Composite puck and about .015-.020 plunger travel. I shift & go through around 68 in the 1/4. The valves I got through Comp Cams were something like 5.01" (No longer available.) and I think it was +.050" valve locks that I got a little more height with. Pressures are suppose to be around 170 closed/370 open, but I haven't double-checked the heights or pressures after getting them back from the shop. (I got these heads approved for IHRA crate motors because they allowed R/T Magnums years before but nothing for LA engines.)

Gotta watch the rocker geometry, especially if you go with longer valves.

If you find beehive springs with the pressures needed, they provide plenty of rocker clearance. I use to clearance Crane ductile iron rockers with regular springs before they allowed roller rockers in Stock on my OEM heads. Swapping in these same springs eliminated that problem there as well.

Great info Myron, I appreciate it! It is obvious from even just looking at your pics that your spring pockets are larger then mine...mine need opening to look like that.

I had the Comp beehives that Brian sets up these RHS heads with, but we both decided a dual spring would be better suited to the solid flat tappet im going to run (kudos for turning the hydraulic where you do and getting it all to work!). There are double springs that will work with what I have for spring pockets, but I would really like to use something cheaper and more common if I can get away with it.

Going to talk with Brian some more about this tomorrow to see what spring stuff he can set me up with on ferrea valves in my heads
