Default Re: Question on cam gear marks

If I subtract your lowest spring height of 1.854" from an in-spec height of 2.130" I get .276" difference, and that's shorter. Is the spring coil binding when the valve is fully open? If so, it'll destroy the cam...maybe pull the intake and have a look. If there is coil bind,the cam and lifters will need inspecting as well.


Terry ( I hope this isn't the case!)
