coil bind and valve seal clearance - 03/23/11 06:00 PM

What is safe on a small block? I know what my spings have coil bind a .600 and I am planning on .550. Is that too close? I have enought seal/ratiner clearance to go .700.. That shouldnt be a problem.

On all of the good race springs the manufacturers recommend no closer than .060 to coil bind

I check every spring on that every time

Alot of rockers dont have a true 1.5 so when you mockup & check actual you may b good as is but yes you're getting close
