Finished the engine and its back in one peice and running sweet. New valve and bits in the head. Put back as single competition valve spring set up again, till I sort out whether to go double springs and away from solid pushrods. Trouble is the loss of performance from double springs could be an issue with an engine in such a mild state of tune as mine. But don't want another broken valve spring spoiling my fun again. Times like this I wish I had a Chevy with such a lot of strong and cheap race product options.
Start on the body work damage tomorrow....... |

Yes that's the joy of the Chevy engine I changed the springs to a lighter set on one of my engines as I think they had been overkill before.

Why would you lose performance ? if it's set up properly the overall spring rate shouldn't differ as the inner spring should only alter the harmonics to curtail valve bounce.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about Rover V8s, its only lightly breathed on in engineering changes for racing, with almost all components still standard, so anything takes the edge off it! But its cheap!!! |

Must admit I've had both on my calendar since the start of the year, however, after having soooo much fun at Brands I will be sticking with Bernie and going to Donington. Had the CTCRC still been a two day event I may well have done the Saturday.
