Maintenance after Cam Just wondering if there is any type of engine maintenance after cam install. Last summer had a 230 dominator cam installed, with new valvetrain. So I've put on close to 8,000 miles since then. I remembering hearing about replacing the springs after so often is there any truth to this or any other type of engine maintenance?

Put in a 233*\233* .595\.595 112 LSA cam and dual aprings and upgraded the whole valve train..have 22,000 miles on it and everything is running great..if you use good parts thay will last a long time..if you want to ask a pro call Geoff and Thunder Racing and ask him about valve spring life span..

The specs of the Duration/Lobe/Lift numbers I'm working on getting.
I believe its 230/230/112 0.578/0.578 but not 100% --> emailed the installer today.
