While the engineering community continues to explore the benefits of electric and hybrid vehicles—i.e., the environmental and renewable energy factors—the automotive market is still dependent on ...

Those wound-up pieces of high-tensile steel under your rocker arms work so hard closing your valves over millions of cycles that they could probably use a replacement right about now. We're talking ...

For mild street engines, stock valve springs are more than adequate. But if you've screwed in a big bumpstick for strip-banging or banzai runnin', then pay attention. Our plan was simple: Install a ...

Obviously, these valve-control-related issues, associated with insufficient valvespring pressure, are the reason why camshaft manufacturers offer valvespring upgrades. The obvious answer might seem to ...

Performance is all about pushing the envelope. As camshafts become more aggressive in the search for more power, these lobes make life increasingly difficult for valvesprings. This may seem like a ...
