Understand THIS Before Buying Valve Springs | Valvetrain Terminology 101 - Jays Tech Tip

In todays video Jay talks about Valvetrain Terminology. If you are upgrading your valvetrain, building an engine, or planning out your build. This video will help you understand more about valvetrain components. What types of valve springs are there, the components surrounding the valve springs, what the numbers mean when shopping for valve springs, and what to look out for when changing valve springs. Check out the full video to learn more. Give this video a share if you enjoyed it.

I dont always build engines but when i do i let jay build it for me.

I didn’t realize Titanium and brake clean don’t play well together. Thanks for the tips!

Thank you guys for the videos! Jay thank you for sharing your knowledge creating a more educated client which only promotes more sales. Genius!

Always killing it with the best information going. Explains it nice and easy for dummy’s like myself. A lot of camshaft manufacturers make specific valve springs for there camshafts.

Another high quality video.

I can tell you are confident about engines and their engineering.

I first want to thank you for this very informative clip, now I have a question for you, I have a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK1 SRT8 6.1L and recently upgraded the camshaft/valve train but 2 days ago one of the valves springs broke but stayed in place and luckily the valve did not drop enough so the piston never hits it, I'm providing you the springs and cam specs to see if based on that you can tell me if these springs can safely handle the valves lift.

Hello Jay. I want to ask when an engine had worked 350.000km (Pinto engine ford. without convert everything is from factory).Do you think that the valve springs after so suffering hours km....get a little bit weak? after 4200 rpm(almost) can not increase rpm like before. Everything checked all pistons compression 170-180 psi .However pump/ignition system checked...All my friends told me engine has a lot of km!! don't expect like before...yes but compression is manufacturer levels, however when engine works idle rpm, (another prove) put my hand in a distance 30cm from exhaust and feel the "air"...Waiting for an answer Jay, and thanks for your time.

Will crower steel retainers work with supertech springs?

[kevinwest]

I'm trying to figure out with out a pressure gage, and an Underdeveloped brain. How much force an additional. 010 less install height will generate on a beehive spring rated at 100lb at 1.800" 285lb at 1.24" I think it's 3lb.

Love peace an axle grease. I'll have to email yall. Got a 91' rtawd wagon. Desperately need for rebuild for the head.

It occurs to me there are alot of "upgrades" out there that are really plucked out of the air by the 'more is better' crowd. I wish I had easy access to a spintron, but I don't. Still... all anyone is after is valve control: use enough spring [and only enough] to manage mass and acceleration. And so not only lift, but rate of change looms large: one degree of cam rotation makes how much lift?. For the same duration, how a cam is ground can force a spring change. There are people running triples out there fighting control issues where conicals would save the day - mainly on account of reduced mass, but also a resistance to resonance. And seat pressures might not need to change at all, or... even go down.

Aweome video! Was about to order my Cam kit from BTR. Going with the hit rod cam (217/23X, .613/.607, 114 LSA) Would .660" lift dual spring kit work well with this cam? I only ask because they have been out of the .630" lift spring kit for a while. Or would it be better to wait and get the out of stock ones. Thanks
