    Default valve spring pressures

    ok whats every bodies thoughts on being to much pressure and to little pressure
    these would be seated and cam nose pressure
    will give you the valve sizes and then give you the valves in weight to work out what you can come up with
    inlet 35mm ----- exhaust 30 mm ---- next inlet 35.5mm ---exhaust 30.1 mm
    22grams --------- 17grams - ------------ 48 grams ------------------------- 42 grams
    these are the weight s now the pressures that you guys would think could work
    seated the 1st inlet 55 lbs seated 165 on the nose the exhaust 40 lbs and 160 on the nose
    the next inlet 80 lbs seated and on the nose and 200 and 60 seated and 165 on the nose these are the pressure im running on the 1st set of valves being using this for about 16 months now abd the shim clearences have closed up 1thou in this time the new motor will run 80 and 200

    i am thinking that you shouldnt be using more then 65 lbs non race.

    Race, certainly above 80 no more then 95.

    Minus the 30 or so pounds of boost pressure when they're seated!
