FAQ
How much lift will these springs support?They are suitable for aggressive cam profiles and are listed as good up to ~0.700" lift when set up to the correct installed height by a competent machine shop.
Do retainers and locks come with this kit?Yes. Retainers and 10° valve locks are included with the 07-S-002 dual spring set.
Will I need to modify my head or seals?Some heads require smaller stem seals and a light cut to the seal boss/guide for clearance. This is a common, quick machining step—consult your machinist.
What else should I upgrade with a hotter cam or more RPM?Pair these springs with Hamilton 07-P-002 pushrods and consider a Hamilton 188/220 cam combo for stable valvetrain control.
DIY install tips?Use the dedicated CPP 12V spring compressor. Set installed height carefully and verify coil bind and retainer-to-seal clearance.
