Is there any springs out there that I could run with a 228r that would last 40-60k and not have to be checked for 30-40k miles?

I am running PRC Gold double beehive springs, I don't have to check mine, I still do occasionally but there is not need to for 20-30k.

I would assume that the Comp Beehives would last. Unless the car is used constantly at 6200 rpm. I am using the 224r cam and the beehives and have no worries about their life, but then its not a daily driver either.

You have the doubles also? How long have you had them in?

PAC 1221, Trick Flow PN TFS-15201, or the Comp 921 are duals that should be reliable with a 228r.

No, am just using the beehive single springs.

just use comp 918s or pac 1518s

For a beehive endurance spring, I would look at the PSI-LS1511 Maxlife, (120lbs @ 1.800", 350lbs @ 1.200", Max lift .625").

PAC 1518's, but regardless of what springs you use I'd check them within 20-30k.

So you would say the the pac 1518's are more reliable/long lasting than the prc dual .650 springs?

Well they don't have the added safety you get with running dual springs, but for a beehive springs there a really good choice. Are they better, I really couldn't say but the PAC's have a proven track record.

Honestly, if you aren't willing to pull a few springs every 20k and replace the set ($200) when needed you probably shouldn't be modding your car.

I don't mind replacing a set of springs every 40k, but I don't want to tear into my motor tell they need replaced.

Although it wouldn't b to hard to check them every 20k. Mainly I am just wanting a set of springs that will be good for 40-50k

Well you might find that, but that does not mean they should go that long without being checked. Checking 4 springs is not what I consider "tearing into a motor". Honestly that's faster then changing a set of plugs (time wise to pull them).

Im paranoid with droping keepers into the damn motor though lol

I have this tiny magnet, and got tired of flying keepers, so i put it inside the jaws of some needle-nose pliers (small magnet, towards tip of the pliers). I set these over valve stem as i am depressing the spring. The pliers basically stabilize the magnet. It catches the keepers every time.

I used a magnet tool when I did it on my lt1. Worked well, but im still paranoid lol. Anyway I think I am gonna call around some different companies tommarow and try to find out what the longest most reliable dual spring is.
