talked to bullet today about who makes thier valve springs. thet tell me Associated, never heard of them, have you?
they say there a very good spring simular to pacaloy and coated, they look polished. do you think i should buy from them or look elsewhere for springs?

They are one of 3 or 4 (may be less) spring companies that service the OEM and aftermarket.I don't think any of the the cam companies make their own springs today.I am sure the springs are fine and it is likely more important to buy the proper spring for your combo than the name on the box.

Are you getting a really good deal? If not I would probably look elsewhere.

$215 at set. not bad if its a good spring.

sounds like a good deal Dave just make sure you get the spring as close to coil bind for them to last and work properly.

thanks, i'll tell my cylinder head guy.

Anything associated with Bullet Cams is of good quality. I really don't think they would sell anything that's not. BTW, they do some of the BEST crankshaft work I've ever seen and would recommend them anyday.

i found another deal on brand new PBM springs for $200 shipped. who knows, these just might be the same springs bullet sells just branded differently. Ryan thought the PBM's were good springs.

its a good thing i did'nt jump on the pbm's for $200. they ended up being wrong springs in a 3860 spring box. i think i'm just going to get the bullet springs and forget about it. Ian, i'll take a look at them right now. thanks
