CONICAL VALVE SPRINGS

[Dachshund]

With this great R&D going on with the cams and buckets, I thought this may be of some interest. It has been posted here 2 years ago.....that's how I found it, but not much was being done with the valve train at the time, I suppose. Just some food for thought.

Hi

I think this is exactly the direction we need to go. It would be interesting to see what a set would cost.

Thanks

God bless...

I agree.So who is going to buy a set and install?

If anyone is getting this made for Cannondale I might also be interested.

I have some on my desk for testing, preferably with a spin-tron if I can have my way......

I have a few strengths to try, figuring we can go softer on the rate since the harmonics shouldn't be a problem.

Wayne if you really do a spintron test I will pitch in a little $.Would have done this long ago but they wanted almost $20,000 if I remember right.Probably would have been smarter/cheaper in long run but couldnt come up with funds.
