Do PRC dual springs ever bind ?
Do PRC dual springs ever bind ? Got my PRC duals in awhile ago, about to do my ms3 install this weekend...
Can't help but wonder- have any of you had binding problems with them? It seems like the 2 springs could possibly bind on one another. Or am I just over worrying?

Any spring can bind with too much lift. Where the springs installed at the correct install height? What is the lift on the cam? What's max lift on the springs?
Anything can break if setup wrong.

Ms3 cam... .609 lift. Not installed yet..
I was just making a general inquiry as to if anyone has had the small inner valve spring bind on the larger outer valvespring, in a dual spring setup.
Just curious.
If you have the right spring, setup correctly then it shouldn't bind.
You also didn't mention the lift in your first post or what PRC springs you had.
Never heard of that without the inner one breaking.
Wouldn't the inner and outer spring be designed for the same amount of lift? What's the point of an outer spring that's good till .650 and an inner spring that goes to .600?
I guess I don't understand the question.

Yes they are designed for the same lift. He wants to know if they have ever interfered or "gotten in the way" of each other.

dude yes i did... I said I had the MS3 (really popular cam figure'd ppl would know.. but irrelevant to the question anyway which was specifically about the springs)
I also said I had Prc Duals.. which was the title of the thread.
So yes.. I did say both of those things...
guess I should have said .650 lift duals??
Still, irrelevant though, because All i'm inquiring about is if people have ever had
PRC DUALS (brand specific) bind upon themselves.
Let me "rephrase it"..
Have the 2 springs ever bound on each other and caused issues ?
Like they said, the springs wind in opposite directions and cannot bind on each other. It is a tight enough fit that sometimes they'll feel like they won't move in and out when pushing them by hand, but that's a much different force/pressure than when installed and running too. You should be good to go with the MS3, no worries!
