We had two sets break springs after 30 runs. Ours were set up too far from coil bind and cavitated. We went to a bigger spring and shimmed it up. Now we've gone to a more reasonable cam we probably don't need the crazy spring pressures.
I recently found a crack on the exhaust rocker boss on #1. Leaking water.
It's easy to go too far fixing it too.


No matter how many times you paint over a shadow it's still there.

Was running the same spring. Had issues with unstable valve train and breaking. Changed to psi with exact same setup and problems gone...
