FE Technical Forum / Re: How does very light valvetrain affect spring pressures?

Thank you for reassuring my curiosity Brent. Lots of "newer" little build details ( thin ring packs, better head/chamber designs, roller cams, stroker combos) seem to produce great rewards,  bringing our beloved dinosaur engine into the future!!..... John

My lazy bones found the answer on Google, along with a calculation to figure out the reduced spring rate. I'm  not big on tech, but google is very helpful at times. The answer is definitely YES, the spring rate will be reduced as the mass of the valvetrain ( referring to the valves/springs/retainers is reduced.....still learning.....

I am swapping out(Edelbrock RPM heads) the edelbrock supplied 3/8" stem valves for 2.15/1.65  5/16"stem titanium valves along with a lightweight beehive spring/tool steel retainer. I am curious if the great reduction in the weight can/does affect the valve spring pressure??. Or does everything remain the same, just easier on the rockers or easier higher RPM's?. Thanks...

Yes, I have often heard the early cruise o magic is also referred to as FMX ( which is very similar but actually a later transmission than the cruise o matic.

They look like a set of  "Performance World "(Canadian version//Edelbrock knock offs). Othan a laser etched PW on the end of the head there are no real markings on the heads,  snd those obviouslybeingpainted will hide that. I have a new set in the box. That's my best guess....John

Sorry to Jerico went under but with the additional transmission options out there these days I'm not sure why I am surprised!. Any idea if anyone  bought them out?, where did all the jerico inventory go??. Just curious?.

Just a personal opinion but I would have thought that it would bring a much higher price given the history of the car. Jmho!..... JJ

I was just on David kees website and it states that no jerico 4 speeds or parts are for sale any longer and he is no longer taking toploaders in to rebuild. Is he closing shop?.
