I believe Will spoke with Comp before ordering these springs. I am almost positive he told them how much boost he would be running and his cam specs.

Re: 4 broken comp beehives...whats up??

thanks cory...yes comp recomended these springs for my application, and yes they are the big block spings, and yes i did f**k up the install...i wasnt aware that because of the smaller retainer used by the beehive sits in the pocket of the valve height mic, i needed to factor in the .150 in. height of that counterbore pocket, the pocket is normally a relief for double and tripple spring retainers that have lower inside diameters...live and learn huh? and no cory...its still raining so no head pulling today....unless you wanna do it for me...in the rain...

and update your sig ...pos bmw318i SOLD

Hey jacko it is going to stop raining around 3.

Does comp expect you to measure as if your spring did not fit into the pocket?
