Been doing a bit of digging about what these stock springs can handle, there is a lot of contradictory information floating about.

Hilly he does say water cooled head...are the perhaps different to the std head perhaps?

I suppose in the end, it's what you want out of your motor & what sort of miles you are doing. using stock valve springs to maximum lift possible. they won't last long. but using stock springs that can handle those lifts. but with stock lift cam. they will last a long time.

Fella's there is no confusion as to what heads Brandon has in the video, latest version of the stock twin cam 110 CVO heads, same clearances applie to the water cooled version he said.

He was told to put them in, he isn't that mechanical, then he put 555's in, took them out as well, when I met him the 255's were back in it, I did a road tune for him a couple of years ago, he loves it.

Yep understand all that, no argument here, no he wasn't told that it needed more comp until he was talking to me about it recently, I didn't know he had had them fitted, not gunna name names but his advisor really should of known better, give you a ring about my heads soon, don't want to waste your time until I have the coin to get them done but a plan is a start I guess.

I'm self employed Hoody, I get it. Man's got a make living, if he can do that doing something he loves then he is also blessed.

Very true gents, we see it on this very forum from people who believe they should be highly paid for their jobs but cry rip off when required to pay for goods or services.

I was considering fitting AV&V .650" double springs myself and let the heads be what they are, I have most of the tools and the skill set to do that barring the installed height mic and seal installer which can be had for not a lot of dollars but that still leaves all the other 110 head issues there in the wings, I don't have reamers and cutters nor a press let alone the know-how to address the ports, sure I could do some blending and minor clean-up stuff but that would most likely just make me feel good without any noticeable performance gains, takes me awhile to sort stuff in my head so I'm happy with a decision, end of the day if you want something done properly you need to get someone that knows what they are doing to do it and pay them, the way I see it is you agree on a plan, the work gets done, the man gets paid, everyone is happy.

That pretty much makes my point, I don't have 30 years left either lol, can't teach experience Hoody. Try and call you on Monday when I finish the run.

Thanks for chat yesterday Hoody, much appreciated, looked up valve spring testers, I can see why you like the one you have and even it's potential replacement, but seeing as this might well be the only heads I ever play with as to me it's not even a hobby I'm going to use one like this, will check it's calibration but it will have to do.

Thanks for the vid speedster.
