If you don't run any spring pressure. The higher the spring pressure, the harder the low oil pressure at idle is on cam bearings, pushrod cups, adjusters and rockers and shafts. Anything over 120 on the seat and you need more idle oil pressure.


Roller cam bearings have more than one person.

Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
