[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 105250, member: 3426"] I wondered about the spring comment. This is all way above my pay grade, but after fiddling around with some of Honda's smaller multi cylinder engines, it becomes apparent that they don't achieve that high RPM, by throwing stronger valve springs at them. It seems to me that stronger springs are often used to try and correct a problem elsewhere..... Like my neighbor with the drag boat that changed cams as frequently as oil. I always thought that if the opening and closing velocity was pretty much equal, that would create a more fluid/harmonic situation with less bouncing around. Now I'll exit stage right, before I dig myself in any deeper. [/QUOTE]
