BeeHive Spring Breakage

http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=513175

I just came across a post on the Z28 CAMARO board of a post and photos of broken BeeHive springs after only a few minutes of engine operation.

Just thought I'd pass it along. If you're interested, check it out.

The date of the post is 6 Apr 2007. What am I missing here?

Do you know roughly the time period for the bad springs? I have a set of heads waiting to be installed that have those springs. They were done last summer.

The ones in that cz28 thread are from around November.

I haven't looked yet - is there a batch # on the springs that can be seen when they are installed?

Take a look when you can.
