my cam requires at least 200lbs of seat pressure, but i need to know that my valves are strong enough.....and can handle 7500rpm safely!

 

They stock valves dont need that much pressure, they are hollow stem lightweight pieces.

thanks for the reply... i know they are light weight, but are you telling me i dont need that much pressure b/c they are, or are they not strong enough to hold that much?

 

You usually don't need that much pressure because they are.

Apparently you are running an aftermarket computer? They would definitely handle 210 seat pressure btw. Is this a solid roller?

 

actually my computer has been burned, but it is a factory cpu.

i do have a solid roller. ....you are sure the stock lt4 (sulfer filled) valves will be o.k. with 210 lb springs? ....i really cant afford to build a time bomb!

by the way, need a definate answer soon b/c my machinist has already cut the seats for the lt4 valves. i will be bringing my lt1 valves today so that the heads can be cut for them otherwise.....

more work...more time...more money!

 

not sulfer filled, they are sodium filled IIRC
