Wow....(f22a valve springs)

[wed3k]

the f22a6's have a different free length than the f22a1/4's.

that means that they may have different spring pressures.

mmm im a noob explain lol please sir?

[accordaffair]

is this a good or bad thing?

[noobcake]

so the tables have turned

Makes sense, different cam, different springs.

[wed3k]

it means we could potentially have a stronger stock spring. on top of that, we can shim the spring seat.

so a stronger spring means we can rev higher

This is the main reason that the F22A1/4 needs more frequent valve adjustments with an A6 cam.

well, im still going to check installed height and pressures and post differences. my A6 head is still sitting attached t the block int he garage.

Measurements would be good, but Cisco and I have discussed this several times because of the more frequent need for valve adjustments. The F22A6 cam dropped mine to about 15K instead of 30K. Granted though, I always drove it hard.

thats really awesome but i dont care for valve adjustment intervals.

I highly doubt they're much stiffer. Not enough to waste money on(if you don't have them on hand already) and take it to a shop and have them install them.

Hey Wes. Take your Midol.

If you go back and read what I said, I said it would be nice to have some numbers, because there is previous evidence that they were different based on valve adjustment intervals.

Fuck.

[d112crzy]

Sounds like you're the one that needs the midol if what he said rubbed you the wrong way.

maybe you can help me find out why it needs so many valve adjustments. there's a lot of variables, it could be anything but the cam. remember that between the cam and valve, there's the rocker assembly that could wear.

there's the valve and seat, timing of the cam and what oil is being used.

the valve adjustment could be misdiagnosed as piston slap which is fairly common. i had slap on my engine at 28k when cold. it can be a lot of things, i just dont like blurbing out stuff without sufficient evidence.
