HIGH LIFT CAM GRINDS.
INCLUDED WITH OUR "B&L" VALVE SET.

Fit all stock Model A and B engines
1928-1934.

**If building a Burtz Block** 
they will be slightly too large in diameter,
requiring turning diameter down 1/16".

For use with stock valve springs.
CNC precision machined steel, set of 8 pcs.
The spacer will increase valve spring pressure and help avoid
valve float at higher RPMs.  
Installed HOT and tap it home.
 
  DID YOU KNOW?
Stock valve springs check out at 35-lbs at 2.5" installed height.
With spacers installed, spring pressure should be (+-) 52 lbs at 2-5/16" installed height  (thanks to Phred Hollister).
Engines may "run out of steam" at 2800 - 3200 rpm with stock springs
and a high lift camshaft. This is from valve float due to weak springs.
With spacers It'll now pull through 3500 rpm in 2nd gear.
You'll smile and start looking for a longer stretch of road.
