These Power Driven Diesel 8v 60 lb Valve Springs 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. For individuals planning to engage in competitive events, you should strongly consider the beehive springs with upgraded locks and retainers to ensure optimal performance and reliability. These upgrades will provide the necessary strength and stability required for demanding racing or pulling conditions.

Power Driven 8v Street Conical Valve Spring Set 4BT:

Set of 8 high-performance drop-in valve springs. These lightweight valve spring assemblies are designed for maximum valve control up to 5,000 rpm, perfect for a hot street Cummins diesel. Springs feature 175 lbs. of seat pressure and 375 lbs. of open pressure. These street-performance valve springs will accommodate the vast majority of performance street 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 higher than stock pressure, it's recommended that a higher quality engine oil is used to protect the cam and tappets. Purchase these 8v Conical Valve Springs today!

These 8v street conical valve springs, retainers, and locks are designed to drop in at a 1.950" installed height and 175 lbs. of seat pressure.


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.
