Here's the problem, one of my valve springs broke. I have the LT4 Hotcam, 1.6rr, LT4 valve springs, and trick flow chrome moly pushrods 7.200 .080.

I was told that the LT4 valve springs would work with this setup, but that was before I got the pushrods. Could that be the reason that they snaped or is it most likely just a defective spring?

I was lucky enough that the valve didn't drop thanks to new valve stem seals, so I would like to know before I replace the spring. If you need to see a pic of the spring let me know.

 

don't really know much about this. Would appreciate the help.

 

That could be an issue with the spring, or with how it was installed. I would check the installed height where it broke and see what sort of coil bind clearance you were running with & go from there personally

what problems would I see if the pushrods were too long? Would that cause a spring to break?

 

That could cause coil bind, which would/could break the spring.

 

When you checked the springs the first time around.... what was the clearance at max lift?
