That’s a pretty cool video. Makes me think someone needs to come up with valve spring shock absorbers to dampen the spring occultations. Not sure how one could do it but would be interesting.

Short answer. They do. A triple valve spring. The middle spring is called a damper spring. It's flat wound spring that goes between the 2 other springs. It raises the rpm at which float happens. It's suppose to help with vibrations in the springs.

I imagine the z is a two spring setup? I would be really surprised if it’s single spring running 7500 rpm |
