Need a number for Edelbrock valve springs

[B3RE]

I know where you are going.

I was going to ask the same thing.

I figured a few members might know where I was going with that question.

I bought the heads used and put roller rockers on them. I spoke to the guy that I bought them from says he believes the springs were worn out since many runs were made with a high lift cam. I floated the valves at the drag strip thus my decision to change them with the new cam. Parts are ordered, engine will be out this week for freshen up and cam/ spring change. Thank you all.

Did you check the geometry after you put the new rockers on it?



Damn I wasn't going to go there...but it's like a sickness. I hate piss poor geometry.

Because buying the "Easy & recommended spring" for a stock head is a insane choice since he has Edelbrock heads with a taller installed height and 1.6 rockers.

The current valve springs would show the engines power curve nose over pretty good instead of hanging on longer.

I myself would look deeper into the catolog for a different spring than the ones listed just to be sure there isn't a better one. Even IF the engine was using a 1.5 rocker, I'd still look. There is more than just a few pounds difference NOT to worry about and call good enough to just get away with.

It just makes good sense.

Please, if You're going to quote Me, read everything I've posted first....For the umpteenth time, I said LOADS not freakin' spring part#s!!! RECOMMENDED CLOSED/OPEN
LOADS !!! That surely isn't fast & easy, and there is an LS beehive installed@1.80" that may bee the best choice of all & only around $145 at Summit!! WTF is wrong
with people picking a pissing match over somebody saying "call the people who made/tested the cam You just bought for a spring suitable w/a greater installed ht.??!!!
Also the cam card showed close to .510" lift while the OP said it was going to have ".540" lift" that directly correlated to 1.6 rockers. Sheeesh! We can't really verify
valve float was or wasn't occurring here, but 240@.050" is going to RPM higher than a similar grind w/230@050", so how can one assume "it's all good"? Not that it
won't, but Comp is 1 phone call away, so really?

Lol, Yeah, but that's like the 3rd time somebody said "the recommended springs won't work" when it's been in the rear-view by post#10......it's just a tad annoying.........
