Thanks for the advice , seems funny why you've had to do that ?Id of thought with the right springs for the cam you shouldn't need to do that ?
Ive just been lookig on the newman info page and found that with the phase 4 cam theres 2 choice of spring . Doubles or singles , id of thought doubles but why have singles listed aswell ?
