I know I?m working with a very different engine - GT6 - thus smaller valves,
but the closed seat pressure is 65 lb and the open pressure is 233 lb at 0.53?
lift. This is per the cam designer.
I?ve been running similar seat pressures for years, shifting at 7,000 RPM
I would defer to the cam specs/designer.

These are very light springs.
I would run 250 seat pressure and 500 at full lift.

Betreff: [Fot] valve spring pressure on TR4 race engine
I have 85 lbs. pressure on the intake valve with the valve closed and it sits
at a height of 1.655 inches. At .400 lift, I have 190 lbs. of pressure. We
only run to 6000 RPM with the gearing we have and the engine we have. The
valve springs are double springs and the machine shop says they are all about
the same, very consistent. What pressures would be recommended? The machine
shop thinks these pressures are light for a 6000 RPM engine. Any advice will
be appreciated. Thanks.
