I don't have a proven answer. I reviewed some cycling tests involving our motors and high pressure springs and the results weren't encouraging. I was wondering what others were seeing and what they did or didn't do with their guides. Something that I have not seen discussed.
These high spring pressures are definitely not valve guide longevity's friend.
