Re: Broken valve spring, again... Why?

Subject: Re: Broken valve spring, again... Why?

I don't know much about this stuff so please forgive the questions.

If I get the pressure tester, what is that going to tell me about why I'm breaking springs?

I can see using the micrometer to get the installed height then subtracting the total lift and see if I still have >.060 left. How do I get the total lift? Do I hope the cam card the previous owner gave me is right and use the lift * 1.6?

Would I be better off just rotating the engine and use a feeler gauge to check the clearance between the coils on an intake and exhaust spring?

Sorry for the questions - I'm just trying to wrap my head around what I'm trying to do.
