Floating valves after cam swap
«

I rebuilt my 347 a few years ago and have been fighting increased valvetrain noise and inconsistent valve floating. The only changes during rebuild were a stud girdle and a cam swap from an e303 to an X303. Last summer I installed new valve springs figuring they were weak. Noise subsided for the first test drive until I put my foot in it. Oil pressure at idle when hot is 50 psi. Engine specs- older Ford racing forged 347 short block, edelbrock performer rpm heads,Ford racing 1.6 roller rockers,knockoff airgap port matched, Holley 670 street avenger. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you replaced them with more Edelbrock springs, they are junk.
I didn't even bother saving the factory springs from my Edelbrock heads.
I'd get the measurements from the retainers and spring cups, and order a set of quality double springs.
A real nice upgrade would be the double LS style spring kit that Ford Strokers sells. Your heads may or may not require cutting down the valve guide to use them.

You might need some Titanium rods and a flow bench!

I did use the same springs, I was having trouble finding some with similar spring pressure and general size.
