Revving a 550
« on: February 20, 2009, 11:09:32 PM »
I've heard of several valve springs being offered for the 550.  Anyone know what the best are? (and spring pressures?)  What is the best way to prep a 550 for 11k rpm?  Obviously high pressure valve springs, but better conn rod bolts, maybe?

Kibblewhite has highly recommended valve springs.

+1 on Kibblewhite springs. Stock 550 rods & bolts are good. NOS bolts are still available, they are the same as later 750 items.


What are you planning that you need 11G's?
