Offset locks to replace exhaust rotator retainers

Thanks. Wouldn't have expected that based on the FSM data I have.

The OP can look at Melling VS-150 or Sealed Power VS-510 for a stock replacement spring. 80-90 lbs seat pressure at 1.650" installed height. Coil bind at around .450" lift if installed height is 1.65".

That is the problem with a stockish SBM springs... coil bind comes pretty easily, too easily for any cam of consequence. So a stiffer spring is needed with fewer coils or thiner wire to get a higher lift w/o getting too close to binding. And that leads back to higher seat pressures. I personally would not worry over 120 lbs seat pressure if the spring rate is not too high.

Melling VS1011 is a $2 spring for which coil bind occurs at about .485 lift with a 105-120 seat pressure and a 232 lb/in spring rate. That might work for the OP if the stock springs do not.

Yes I bought the SP VS510 springs. Had 12 stock, so for the budget build my son and I are doing they'll be fine. Just a factory 340 grind for cam in a cruiser car. $1.99 @ Summit. For that matter the rotators probably would have lived, lol. Mostly doing this for his edumacation. Just something to run around while I plan a 408. Thanks for the help! That chart is awesome!
