What seat pressure do you run, as when i went through my exhaust valve saga the seat pressure i was quoted to use with the setup, my mate(who built my motor) thought where way over the top and would smash everything in the valvetrain to pieces i was quoted 200lb, we settled on 150lb he though the 3 main points to cause damage on the jpc rollers would be: 1.excessive spring pressure 2.incorrect sweep or contact point at the valve tip 3. excessive tappet clearance thoughts.....? cheers darren Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
