lets you see just how much force atmospheric pressure really has once that intake valve opens.
piston moves down creating an area of less pressure and atmospheric pressure moves in to equalize it.

I love it, gets the gears turning in my head. Would you say that boost pressure relieves valve spring seat pressure as I've thought or does it not work like that?

Pressure behind the valve could only increase valve spring seat pressure as the spring is working against the valve to keep it closed.
Now if your talking about decreasing the force the valve has against the valve seat....boost behind the valve would decrease this.

Haha yeah sorry, valve seat pressure that's what I meant

Yes, really insightful video's. I saw the first two a few years ago on youtube while familiarizing myself with valve float and seat pressure, after a failure I might add I have learned a lot since then, and knowing that it happens and seeing it is two totally different things. I love video's like this !! I always could picture the valves moving around and the spring bouncing during valve float but never gave thought to the motor harmonic's spinning the valve spring and valve.

While on the topic, I am going to ask this question because everyone I have asked has provided an different answer, If your cams require a 100psi seat pressure and at WOT you are running 40-45psi, on a turbo set up of course, What seat pressure should you run ?

I have come up with my own little formula but am always insightful of how people answer given you do not want to float a valve and do not want to cause excessive valve train wear.

I was watching a thing about sts turbo kits on ls series chevy motors and they were saying that stock valve train was fine for like 8-10lbs but anything more then that they had issues with valve float due to the boost pressure pushing the valve down. Iv never seen that issue with hondas before so I thought it was neat.

It works like that on Honda's also. Just at different points because they are made to rev higher and have better spring rate and seat pressure to deal with boost from the factory. ( Better Valve Train Stock)
