Title: Specs for Disco Valve Spring?
Post by: FuzzyGrub on August 03, 2014, 08:49:17 AM

Wondering if it makes a good candidate for running a Mrod at lower pressure?  From the schematic pictures it looks shorter and poppet is different.  Looking for:

- Length:
- Wire Diameter:
- OD: 
- Number of coils:

Thanks

I happen to have a spare that I ordered a couple of months ago, so these should be the current specs:

diameter: .289"
overall length: 2.252"
wire diameter: .035"
# coils: 15

Hope this helps.

Steve,

thx for measuring.  That seems awful long for a valve spring, but only going by the schematic picture, and comparing to Mrod and Prod.   Maybe it was a hammer spring?,  but thought they were only 1.75" long.

Duh... sorry, it IS a hammer spring.  Maybe I should take tomorrow off :)

My apologies.
