(Valve springs, retainers, locks and intake valves). Ready to bolt on. Bulletproof your ‘602 Crate Motor.

Bulletproof your ‘602 Crate Motor Valve Train
Every racer who runs a ‘602 crate knows the valve train, especially the valve springs, are a real problem. The stock valve springs are too weak for circle track applications.
On the ‘602 crate motor, we are concerned about the valve spring pressure, or lack there of, on the intake valve. Why the intake valve and not the exhaust? Well, the intake valve is heaver and will “float” before the exhaust. Anything you can do to increase the effective valve spring pressure will help keep the intake valves out of this destructive “float” condition. The “intake valve float” condition is problematic because the stock Chevy ‘602 valve springs suck, especially if you are trying to run the motor over 5,800 rpm.
We Install our “Look-A-Like” valve springs, retainers and locks and you will not have to worry about valve float again.
