Much higher spring tensions and lifts have been run on the eg33 before. The engine has just never been put back in an SVX.

The increased lift and spring tensions being considered are a major factor involved in this issue. I would suspect there could be surprises in store. Was this a limiting factor in the minds of those who engineered the original?  |
