First 318 build, cam question

I have those on my engine. They are springy. :toothy10: I had my machinist install them anyhow because he disassembled my heads after pressure testing. They work and do their job. I have that K6901 cam and the matching lifters and factory pushrods. Springs are on a set of '79 318 smog heads with bronze valve guides on a '73 318 block. It doesn't mind pulling to 4k at all or 5k. All the info I probably gave is useless though. My engine is just a truck motor.


No, no. All good info as my 318 is also a truck motor. :D My only issue with them is the cost. the Comp Cams springs are in the $60.00 range, but if added machine work on the heads is needed the cost is offset.

My apologies to 72SwingerVA for hijacking his thread. It sounds like this info may help him too.
