Yes the heavier load would increase the likelihood of rolling contact fatigue.

RCF, the silent killer.

Drop 5 pounds, save cam lives?

Valve spring seat pressure only needs to be strong enough to stop the valves getting blown off the seat st max boost.  A valve spring to suit max 16 psii will be different to one running 30psi.

Hi is there any difference between the FG falcon xr6t cams and the FPV f6 cams? Mine is a FG FPV F6  and there is a constant knock coming from the motor, it only has 120th kms on it.

Sounds like sh*tty lifters with not enough preload. I've had similar noises and for reasons I reckon what I reckon.

My F6 sounds like that too. It has for years. IDK what's normal. I assumed that was normal.
