I’ve searched and found some threads about setting up valve springs but still don’t think I understand how to do it. I’m going to put down what I think I know and hopefully someone will verify I’m doing it right or set me straight.
1: determine the height of the spring at your desired pressure
2: determine the distance between the retainer where the spring touches and the pocket the spring sits in
3: make the spring match the height using shims or cutting pocket deeper, if necessary
If the above is correct how do you accurately measure from the distance between the retainer and pocket? And how exact do you have to be?
