I'm assembling a 427 SBF stroker,and the heads came with the recommended 26120 BBC Beehive springs for hyd. roller cam use,from TEA.
My cam has a rated .600 lift on both Int. and Exh.
I got a bit nervous,when I checked the springs on the pressure checker, to see the bottom 3 coils start to stack near full lift! The actual measured install height is 1.890 with 157 psi. and 380 open psi.
I assume this is how the spring is designed to work? There is still plenty of coil clearance at the upper coils.
