I don't run locaters even with a spring that's 400# on the seat. I use the good hardened shims with no issues.

Hmmm...
If I can get away with using .015 hardened shims, that will put me @ 1.825 installed and 1.277 open. Coil bind is at 1.230.
The springs are rated 155lbs @ 1.880 and 377lbs @ 1.280... so that should put me right on the money over the nose of the cam.
Is that something you would be comfortable with ?
Without checking the springs on a tester... I'd have to guess I'd be around 175 on the seat and 380 open ??? Sound about right ?
I just looked at a pic of the heads I pulled off the car...
Bison... have you checked the springs on these heads yet ?
They look alot like the 26120 springs I just got today...
The 10 degree retainers and locks are identical to what the 26120 uses.
I thought the only retainer/lock combo matched to the 26918's was a 7 degree combo.
Here's a pic of the heads before I shipped them to Bison... and the new set of beehives I just got.
there is 7 and 10 degree stuff for both, BTW there is only a 4 gram differnece by going to the Ti retainers since they are so small so in most cases that is not a good value. Just mentioned it becase someone posted about Ti earlier.

2 done, 10 to go.
Install height is right on the money at 1.825
Open pressure will be exactly at the spring specs... 377 @ 1.280
I thought you had closer to .590 lift? 1.235 open@.590.
With the 1.65's I had .584 lift.
I got rid of those and went back to a 1.55 rocker... for .548 lift.
That puts my open heights dead-on at 1.277-1.280-ish... approx .040-.050 away from coil bind.
Open pressure is 377 @ 1.280
I just finished the pass side... and install heights ranged from 1.820 - 1.830.
Any updates?
hey yullose is this true? did it turn out to be electrical? can you update if your still around.Oh... oh. Still doing it. I hate it when that happens.[/QUOTE
