Broke another Comp 918 spring
Broke another Comp 918 spring Fortunately I didn't do any damage to my bottom end and only slight damage to one valve. The machine shop doing the valve job/head repair is also putting in nitrided double coil springs with titanium guides and locks. These springs will be good to 660 lift.
This shop also builds all the LSx engines for Mosler, so I am in really good hands. Hope to have all this done by next friday.
New news; I decided that it was a good time to go with a forged bottom end. So they (machine shop) will line bore (40 over), use Mahl pistons, Clevite bearings and Eagle rotating assembly (11.4 compression ratio) with the internals balanced and blue printed. New GMPP water pump and Harmonic balancer will added when reassembly begins.

pac 1518's are the only beehive i've seen lately that i would trust. but you have to know how to set them up. and i wouldn't personally run anything over .610 with them. they are rated at .650 but rumor is they have problems with anything over .637 lift. and i would never trust 918's with any kind of agressive lobed cam.
