Just got a FR30 cam for my Pinto I'm building up for the Capper. Decided to go with it as it's primarily a torquey cam rather than BHP and there's a lot of hills where I mainly drive so torque is a bit more important as BHP . As well as that, the powerband is from 1000-6000 RPM which is ideal as I'm not building a 9000RPM screamer and I need it to be a daily driver. Got just over 11mm lift which is nearly twice the standard. Do you reckon I'll get away with standard valve springs The short answer is no. Springs have a long life workng range. The std spring compression will be within that range. To exceed it will lead to a much earlier collapse of the springs or even cause the springs to break. or am I looking at a set of doubles? Doubles or singles, what you are looking at is a set of springs designed to work with a compression of 11mm plus the pre-compression. Mike.

Take care? Parroting that from your Googled under-fives' guide to engine building demonstrates you really are on the bottom rung of mental and manual dexterity. I bet you burned yourself on that Mamod engine too. The only thing confused here seems to be your dressing habits! g f

That'd be a first then. Shame you didn't do things 100% correct on your clients' vehicles. Might have saved you a lot of bother.

Not as many as the vandalised cars you had to get repaired no doubt! It's obvious the nearest you have got to any kind of head work is the head jobs you do in those bogs in Eastleigh lol! g f! PS don't let the cold weather catch you out on the road! lol ! lol !
