how close to coil bind is safe?teke184 09-27-2004, 09:47 AM how close can your lift numbers be to the size spring before you should worry about being "unsafe"? basically if you are running springs that handle .600" lift, is it safe to run .595" of lift? or is it a better rule of thumb to give more "buffer" than that? teke184 10-01-2004, 11:50 AM anybody??? i want to know if i should "spring" (no pun intended) for .650" max lift springs or just the .600" Dave89IROC 10-01-2004, 04:57 PM I think you want 0.030 clearance 01SSRMS 10-01-2004, 10:19 PM I was thinking .050 - .060 was the minimum. I'll take a look in a spec book where I saw it and try and give you a more definite answer. RE AND CHERYL 10-02-2004, 11:05 AM I beleive the springs included with the Hot Cam are good for .525, which is exactly wht the cam with 1.6 RR makes for lift. teke184 10-02-2004, 01:39 PM stock lt1 springs are rated for .525"...and i think ls1 are the same so the springs on the hotcam would need to be more. probably .550" or .570" Mtrhds94Z 10-02-2004, 10:02 PM stock lt1 springs are rated for .525"...and i think ls1 are the same so the springs on the hotcam would need to be more. probably .550" or .570" I thought it was .490 for stock LT1 and .525 for LT4 springs? | ||
