ProComp/Speedmaster aluminum heads

I’ve told you exactly how to do it, but you want to go about it some other way.

My way starts with you finding out what the spring requirements are for your current cam.
Either call the cam grinder and ask them, or measure the installed height of the springs that are on the motor now(this assumes the current springs are set up correctly for the cam) and look at the chart on the Crower site and see what the loads are for your spring, at that installed height, and your lift.

The heads are still in their boxes on the Shelf where I put them the day after I got them. One thing about me I've always figured there's a few different ways to skin a cat... (Clutch tamer).. if I had my mind completely wrapped around this I would have stopped asking questions.
Fortunately I was just pm'ed by a member who gave me the mathematical formula..
Math I understand!
When I was a kid and started doing foundations for work of course I start out laboring. As I gained a little more knowledge I noticed the foreman would always keep the plan to themselves and figure out the squares and just kind of tell you what to do to keep you dumb and stupid and working.. when I finally started running my own crew all my men knew how to read the plan and figure their own Pythagorean theorem to square a Foundation in..
Appreciate you giving me a good direction and good advice. What I'm looking for now is the other ways for skinning cats if there is any? Like something I didn't know was that when I went to 202 valves they used the same springs, but needed more shims and -50 keepers.. -50 keepers? Oh so there's other ways of doing things...
ultimately again I appreciate your help and I see no reason why I won't follow your formula when the time comes. As of right now I'm waiting for maybe a Black Friday sale or something for the bolts...
