  • Help: Old Post on 289 RPM Limit

    A while back I put up a Post inquireing about my Sky Hawk RPM limit. Very informative answers...however, SOMEone PMed me about (I believe) a set of R1/R2 valve springs they'd sell me. I've since lost all my PM's . Whomever it was, could you please PM me again? Thanks, in advance...

    If you do not receive a reply those valve springs are readily available from our vendors.

      You can buy the 155 Lb. R1/R2 Valve Springs New, from ANY Studebaker Vendor at: http://studebakervendors.com

      They are good to the RPM Limit of 5500 RPM.

          Fairborn Studebaker is also a place to get many performance parts.

            One more time, just remember the stock cam horsepower curve falls off rapidly when revved above 4800 RPMs.
