408 hyd roller, too much spring pressure?

I'm sorry, but I must have missed your contribution to this thread when I first started reading it. Can you link me to your post? While you're at it, can you point to the part where I said beehives are "the do all, be all and end all"?

So what you are saying is that in every single case where a rocker touches a retainer that the problem is the rocker geometry and not, say, a set of .050" plus locks? Or a larger diameter spring/retainer combo? Etc.

With due respect, only a "FOOL" thinks he knows the answer to every scenario. Of course, I am generalising. As were you, I assume.

I’m saying go back and look through a bunch of threads where BH springs are talked about. You’ll see the same guys telling people who have springs hitting retainers to just drop a set of BH’s on there and send it.

That’s a bullshit thing to do, because 99.999% of the time they hit because the geometry is wrong. The correct fix is to unscrew the geometry, not to change the spring.

Of course, the dudes that always say to use a BH spring never say to fix the problem. They just tell people to cobble their **** up.

Do a search. You’ll find it for yourself.

Want to use a BH spring? I couldn’t care less. But you don’t use one to cobble something together.

Plus, their performance is grossly overrated. I know they don’t like RPM. I’ve broken enough to know that 8k is their limit with an OHC and Ti valve.
