Default Cam swap question

What PSI to set the air compressor at to keep the valves from falling on the pistons?

Remove the spark plug of the cylinder that you are going to change the valve springs
on, and screw in the leak-down tester hose. A good seal is not 100% needed. Adjust
your air compressor to approx 60psi on the hose, and hook it up to the leak-down hose.
