I bought my car with a cam in it the size is known. I took off my stock heads to get them rebuild. The heads have blue single springs, any one know what kind of springs these are and how much lift they can take. my car must have a small cam to have single springs installed. I want to mill my heads I am guessing my cam is no bigger then a 232/232, what is the most I can mill my heads if my cam was a 232/232.

When i had just a cam in my car i beleve my springs i put in had the blue markings on them. They were comp cams beehive springs. I think they are good to .600 lift.

I had to stay unmilled or flycut with cam in sig so take what you want from that. I am also running a 111LSA advanced 2* so that affects PTV also.

what head gaskets did you use.

Good question forgot that OEM MLS .54 compressed. Did not have the valves recessed by TSP. When I went into this I thought I could run a .40 Cometic to improve quench and bump compression but in talking to a very reputable speed shop was told to stick with stock which is what TSP said too.

I've got the same cam ^...but on 112+4 on patriot stage 2 59cc heads.

I guess I am not milling. Anybody know who makes these blue springs?

chieftransam

Possibly comp cams 918 springs? Can you post a pic? If they have a blue strip down them then they are the comp cams 26918 springs good to .600" lift.

I just took the heads to get them rebuild. The springs are solid blue just like the yellow ones but they are blue. I look the see if they showed were they came from but noting. I dont know if I should reuse them.

chieftransam

hmm... you could just get new ones to be safe? idk

COOL!!! You are the only one else I know running this cam. I am on XFI/XE-R lobes. Are yours the welded chambers or milled? Am guessing the old Patriot welded. Sorry about the Jack OP but it happens.

To the OP. Your doing a build just get new springs fo sho.

chieftransam

Yeah I'm on the same lobes but like I said I'm just +4 where you are +2....not really sure why but oh well. I was told the heads were milled when I got them.


GET NEW SPRINGS unknown pontiac! Better to be safe than sorry!
