Default Anyone using F22parts.com's valve springs?

Their single valve springs. Any complaints? How high have you taken them(RPMs)?

They state they are tested to 9000 RPMs, just curious if they can actually handle that. I need valve springs that can handle 8000-8500 for my F22B1 head.


If you know of any other companies that make valve springs for the F22B1, Im all ears, very difficult to find.


Thanks.

I'm using KMS right now. Get the springs and retainers from them and have the machine shop get a set of valve seat locators that are compatible.

Any issues with KMS springs? How long have you been running them? How high, RPM wise have you taken them? I had read in other threads of spring failures and others where he was packaging OEM springs as upgraded springs and such.

I think a member by the name of HondaFan81 had some for his white project. He doesn't post here much but does post quite a bit on CB7Tuner. I think he had a set of their valve springs and retainers but I want to say he's switching to a Bisi valvetrain due to going with Bisi's cam. I don't think he ever ran the F22Parts valve springs though.

Thats what I remember from a while ago and it may be completely off. You could try contacting him though as I know he had bought some other stuff from them.

Also, Kteller sells Rocket Motorsports valvetrain parts for the F22B1.

I'm using them on a turbo A6 and I haven't had any problems so far. Customer service was great as well.

Cisco [HondaFan] on CB7tuner is using stuff from F22parts.com. I believe he knows the owner and he seems to fair well with their products.

You may want to check out our page as well: http://www.bisimoto.com

We use web, but our specs are propriatory. I can also assist with springs and retainers: run to 11,000 rpms on over 3mm oversize valves. Bare in mind that we build the most powerful n/a F22s on the planet: our technology is proven.

Your camshaft page only list F22 NON-Vtec, I need F22 Vtec. I had contacted you via email a few weeks back, but never got a response.
