Are those used with Chevy valves?
I never looked them up. I just knew they were on a Slant 6 head!

Quote: Not really sure why you need a beehive for a slant build,usually the realm of higher rpm or higher ratio rockers
The beehive isn't designed that way just to save weight on the retainerend, it is because the varying coil diameters have different resonant frequencies, which all but eliminates spring surge. This makes the spring able to maintain superior control of the valve over a wider RPM range. |
