Message: [QUOTE="V-Ref, post: 116915, member: 660"] BB-You keep referring to an area that the spring in contact with the valve... On the 2000 7.3 engine in my truck, the spring doesn't contact the valve anywhere....it contacts a retainer, that "connects" the spring force to the valve stem. Can you explain to me, why does this (the surface area that the valve spring contacts/applies force to the valve) matter? Are inferring that boost/drive pressures can act on the spring? Not to insult your intelligence or experience, but have you examined or assembled/disassembled at 7.3 cylinder head off the motor? It sounds to me like you are applying spring pressures incorrectly...possibly making this harder than it has to be....or maybe I just don't get your point....could you just break this down Barney Rubble/Scooby Doo simple for me so I can understand your point? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
