In this blog: more about the function of the valve spring in the engine. Then you understand why Wilmink Performance always gives the advice: take no risks and choose the expert who has proven itself for a long time. When it comes to good, reliable valve springs, which survive for a long time even under difficult conditions, then you quickly end up with Melling. The company's motto for everything they do, including aftermarket products, from camshafts to cylinder liners and everything in between, is 'Excellence in Manufacturing'. And what about the small, but essential, component the valve spring?
Valve springs are coated with an anti-corrosion coating and are 'shot peened'. If the valves are dropped or damaged, small cracks can appear in the valve spring as a result, causing it to break. This results in (expensive) engine damage.
A valve spring is selected with care. Combined with the right valve spring pressure, the engine block will perform optimally and generate as much power as possible. In the performance world, "fast camshafts" and stronger or double valve springs go hand in hand. A camshaft with more "lift" is, by definition, useless if you use the standard valve spring. Our performance specialists will be happy to help you with the right advice.
With the line of valve springs for racing purposes, it comes even more precise: there, springs are that are not completely round, but slightly oval, are used, also known as ovate springs. Even the slightest deviation suddenly makes the difference.
After reading this blog, there's no need to hesitate. Choose valve springs from Melling. Like your customer, the rest of the engine block will also be happy.
