well there's our discrepancy! I had the valve springs tested by a professional company with a spring tester and I'm really not sure what tool Faust is using there? can anyone explain what the tool is? not the digital box but the TOOL?
my results concur with Fausts results, make of that what you will but I suggest you test them yourself in a stock head with stock valves
the 'one-third' is the difference between a kibblewaite and the factory conical if I recall and not my sets. my first set was with Sparks and we got kibblewaites, they then decided that they would only deal with the wholesale trade so my supply route was cut off.
it is true that my sets fit either spot on or slightly over compressed, the nice thing is that a numpty has to have the minimum pressure as their maximum thus not one engine failure. a huge sigh of relief. :shock: :shock: :shock:
you have long been playing mischief bushie and you know it. what a load of bollicks and Tosh from what I can work out, you are saying that I supplied you with my extended spring sets and then also sent you instructions asking you to still fit the thick washers even though the fitment height would have stated 36mm. so you are saying you cheekily fitted them at 36mm but quote all the pressures of springs compressed to somewhere around 32-33mm?
no, you have missed the point again, (it is always the same trying to communicate with Taffy sigh), FWIW I still have the emails and the maximum installed length possible on the oem valves in the stock head was less than the 35.2mm figure you made up to look " impotent"
I don't know what you supplied me with, when i inquired why it was not possible to fit them at 35.2 or bigger as per your instructions your new instructions to me were "you just got far too anal all you do is up the seated pressure"
where you are confused is that at a later date I fitted non OEM oversize valves, the nice kibblewhites allowed your DVSK to be fitted at the correct length
as I say, no problems with my silver steel shims. and I'm not fixing what isn't broke. and my spring kits are NOT those that Faust used pure and simple. Mine have to come from abroad and I pay import duty on them so there's a clue! and I wouldn't have to do that if they were the sets Faust says - or you imply.
you missed the point again, I'm not implying that your DVSK is the OEM one, I am pointing out that the OEM DVSK is better value. $66 us from partspitstop
regarding the shims and wear : look underneath the thin shims, at 40 hours
when you see the damage the conicals do you question WTF the factory has on its mind?
dual springs offer the safety of redundancy if one breaks, however claiming that your current version of DVSK reduces the seated pressure over oem is glaringly incorrect unless both me and Faust have made the same error in measuring seated pressure of the oem conicals and the set you supplied me with is something actually intended for a fordson major.
I notifed you of the descrepency in installed length and seated pressure and got told i was being anal. and you wonder why I give you a hard time :roll:
