RE: Found It !!

Well I have done some more checking. The springs (that were ordered with the cam) are installed correctly. The closed pressure is 145lbs. The open pressure is 350lbs. When we set the springs up, we took the lift of the cam, did the math with rockerarm ratio etc, set the head in the machine and applied that much lift to the top of the spring. There it was checked for correct pressure and coil bind and adjusted (shimmed) accordingly. Hearing what all of you have said, everything I have read and talking to a couple of diffrent engine builders, I beleive these pressures are way to stiff for break-in. I believe I am going to remove the inner-spring, dampner and any shims for break-in of the next cam. However any other suggestions are more than welcome! I am tired of spending money and ready to go PLAY! Thanks for all the help and advise.
This thread, so far...
