It was suggested in the other thread that this info would be needed to choose the right springs.

I can get the Melling part# that we installed last time we broke a spring if it would help. It won't be until maybe Monday or Tuesday, though.

To be blunt, all I want to know is what springs I need for this engine. So far I've managed to break one of the originals that LPE put on and one of their replacements. LPE said they were stock springs - I don't know and I don't trust them at all. All I want is a working engine that doesn't require new springs every 10k miles.


You need to know what the open and closed heights are, and the size of the spring pocket. You have already established that, so you are in good shape there.
Maybe I missed it, but what are the cam spec's?
With those two pieces of info picking a spring becomes easy.
