Title: Installed height / JPM small springs / type 4 valves / Post by: -Alex- on April 08, 2013, 09:18:25 am I have a sort of problem, maybe.
I am getting Thorsten Piepers billet heads, and they have fixed depth of valve pocket. -Valves 117mm type 4 -JPM small springs an ti retainers -Lift 15mm -Udo's lightweight lifters -Alu pushrods Recommended installed height for springs is 41mm, and i have feeling that it will be 1-3mm more without shims with these heads. 1mm shim is ok, but two 1mm or one 2mm shim? Title: Re: Installed height / JPM small springs / type 4 valves / Post by: Frallan on April 08, 2013, 12:31:20 pm With all that investment I would make a spring pocket "bucket" insert.
Make it the exact height you wish. If the spring is not guided diametrically in the bottom, I would integrate that in to the insert. Sounds good and exciting with those jems to heads! Good luck!

The OD of the pocket is 36mm if i remeber correctly and ID 16,8mm. JPM vw diameter springs are 32mm OD and 17mm ID. Do you mean machined bucket insert, just dropping it to place? Steel or 6082 / 7075 aluminum? Title: Re: Installed height / JPM small springs / type 4 valves / Post by: Frallan on April 09, 2013, 02:30:53 am Check this out.
Just as an example to visualize what I suggest.. A strong steel bucket that locates the spring with a light pressfit on OD. This prolonges life of your spring too. From the measures you write, it seems like a good opportunity. http://www.jegs.com/p/Moroso/Moroso-Valve-Spring-Cups/764349/10002/-1 Title: Re: Installed height / JPM small springs / type 4 valves / Post by: dragvw2180 on April 09, 2013, 03:55:13 am You might want to look at some valve spring locators instead . I have used them in the past with good results.

If I have to choose, I would choose outside and main spring guiding. Title: Re: Installed height / JPM small springs / type 4 valves / Post by: -Alex- on August 16, 2013, 07:40:46 am I think the measurements are ok, i measurer from chamber floor to valvesping pocket, 70mm on TP billet heads, and then transferred the measurements to cad model.
Just recently i got 48x38 117mm manley valves, jpm ti retainers etc, and measurements gave the installed valve height with these components 41,5mm, so i may need only one shim. Valveguide boss is 16,8mm, spring id is 17,00-17,1mm (http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/5339/1vvv.jpg) Title: Re: Installed height / JPM small springs / type 4 valves / Post by: BeetleBug on August 16, 2013, 07:51:39 am I have a sort of problem, maybe.

What a strange mix of parts...... Title: Re: Installed height / JPM small springs / type 4 valves / Post by: -Alex- on August 16, 2013, 18:42:32 pm not really.. three of them are from JPM
