Your choice of Power Driven Valve Springs for 12v Cummins applications!

Power Driven 12v 60 lb. Valve Springs for 1989-1998 Cummins diesel are capable of handling engine speeds of up to 4,500 rpm, providing improved performance. However, it’s important to note that while the springs themselves are durable, the stock keepers and locks may not be suitable for racing or pulling applications.

Power Driven 12v Street Conical Valve Springs: Set of 12 high-performance drop-in valve springs for the 12v Cummins cylinder head. These lightweight valve spring assemblies are designed for maximum valve control up to 5,000 rpm, perfect for a hot street Cummins diesel. The springs feature 175 lbs. of seat pressure and 375 lbs. of open pressure.

These street conical springs, retainers, and locks are designed to drop in at a 1.950" installed height and 175 lbs. of seat pressure.

The Power Driven 12v Race Conical Valve Spring Set has 12 high-performance drop-in valve springs for the 12v Cummins cylinder head. These ultra-lightweight valve spring assemblies are designed for maximum valve control at high rpm. They feature 175 lbs. of seat pressure and room for just over 0.700" of valve lift—perfect for a race truck engine! These performance springs will accommodate the vast majority of the largest lift camshafts on the market while still maintaining reasonable open pressure for cam lobe and lifter/tappet life. As with any aftermarket valve spring upgrade with over stock pressure, it's recommended that a higher-quality engine oil is used to protect the cam and tappets.


Break-In Procedure

  • Apply Cam Lube on all lobes, lifter faces, distributor gears, and oil pump gears.
  • Oil all bearing journals and lifter barrels.
  • Always turn the engine over by hand before starting. Check for clearances and proper timing location.
  • Fire up to 1800 – 2000 RPM for 18 – 20 minutes.

Note: Most oil companies have taken
out a percentage of additives that are meant for anti-scuffing for the break-in on flat tappet cams, so please ask your local auto parts
professional for the best zinc additive they have and add it to your oil before you fire up your engine for the first time (we prefer ZDD
Plus.) You can also order specialty oil from Power Driven Diesel here.
