dual valve spring questions

By Geoff McNew - 02/21/2003 3:06:29 PM; IP 66.52.140.67

1. What's the consensus - trim your own valve guides with the little cutter/arbor tool the cam makers sell or have a shop do it? Anyone have problems with flaking off pieces, or do the little cutters do a great job?

2. Also, how much spring is too much / too little? I'm running a 428 SCJ, CJ heads and valves. It will have Erson roller rockers (Apr. 14th ship date!) The new cam is a Crane hyd. 234/238 @ 0.050", .554"/.563", 112 lobe separation. Crane's spring recommendation seems pretty light, but then again I don't plan to turn it over 6200.

This thread, so far...
