Default Mcmaster-carr valve springs?

Well I noticed on their site they have some pretty precise springs! has anyone ever thought about using a set of these in the same diameter and size as stock but with a stiffer spring rate for like a super gehtto D-series build up?


I wonder how they would work, I wanna try this n a cheap ngien I dont care too much about

comments? sudjestions?

nah i just wondered if anyone tried it..... im sure it would ---- something up


but if i had a beater i would try anyways just to see what happens

imagine if it did work rhough! $20 set of vave springs that are a bit stiffer than stock hell that would be cheaper than picking up a set of OEM ones

maybe im just getting a bit tired and starting to think like too much of a cheapass

It's not the size and sprig rate you need to worry about, it's the cycle duty. Not too many spring can handle being compressed that many times and at that speed.

If we can find out the expected cycles then I think it's a good idea. Way to think homemade man!
