Type 4 valve springs...

  1. When you look at new cams if they're not stock they all seem to say HD springs.. but no one seems to sell type 4 hd springs...

    In a bus with revs staying quite low are you really going to get past where stock can still cope , if not how much of a bodge is type 1 hd springs?

    Ahnendorp B.A.S. has them for a mere 200 Euro https://www.ahnendorp.com/VW-Type-4...pplies-64/Valve-Springs-HD-VW-Typ-4--Set.html

    I bought mine from Jim at Stateside but they’re probably type 1 springs.

    It’s not just revs, you need to make sure the spring isn’t coil bound at full lift and it has to control the acceleration/deceleration of a steeper cam ramp angle. Have a look at this (20 minutes in) and you’ll probably get HD springs.
