Valve Spring Options
I've been working on a friend's 98 4.6 for the past few months, and we've gotten ourselves into a sticky situation. It's blown, has head work done, cams, and computer work to make sure the timing, fuel etc. are safe. The cam lift (I'm a little foggy on the exact #'s) on the intake is around 550, and 510 on exhaust. Apparently, he purchased a set of springs from the ONLY aftermarket manufacturer that makes them for his application right now. The #7 cylinder just dropped this weekend, so I figured "piston for sure." But it turned out to be a broken intake valve spring on 7. What's the chances!!? Anyway, I'm just looking for spring options if anybody has any ideas.
Thanks, Scott |

Could it have become coilbound? .550 isn't much lift in some engines but I am not knowing about mod motors.
