PRO GOLD VALVE SPRINGS

3D Solid Modeling, Motion Analysis and Finite Element Analysis
The TechCenter has acquired advanced software packages that enable  engineers to carry out extensive and detailed computer modeling and simulation of springs and spring assemblies. This facility can be linked to all the major design packages used in the automotive industry to provide electronic file transfer with the customer.
impactX-Ray Residual Stress Analysis
This device measures the state of residual stress in a spring by measuring the atomic spacing of the material using high frequency x-rays. Residual stress is a vitally important factor in valve spring manufacture and this device enables us to ensure that detrimental stresses are minimized and beneficial stresses are maximized.
Material Testing
A range of material test equipment is located in-house at the TechCenter. This equipment is used to subject the raw material to exhaustive examination to ensure only the highest quality material is used for valve springs. The test equipment available include:
  • Tensile testing
  • Metallographic examination
  • Microhardness testing
  • Rotating-bending fatigue testing
  • Impact testing
Scanning Electron Microscope with EDAX
This device provides high definition digital images of failed springs to assist in troubleshooting any problems that may arise. It is coupled to an EDAX unit that provides instantaneous chemical analysis of any zone of the fracture or identify any possible surface contaminants.
Strain Gauge Capability
Micro-strain gauges can be attached to any spring component and used to directly measure the surface strain of the spring when it is loaded either statically or dynamically. This provides valuable confirmation of the operating stresses imposed on the part during service.
Durability Laboratory
This area of the TechCenter houses a wide range of cycle test machines that provide fatigue life measurements on parts. Testing in hot oil and under continuous load monitoring are available.
Engine Test Facility

This latest addition to the TechCenter provides our Engineers with the ability to operate a full engine under direct electrical drive to evaluate the effectiveness of the valve spring in controlling the operation of the valve train at speeds up to 10,000rpm.

The valve train can be instrumented to measure full valve motion (including valve closing speeds and valve bounce) as well as spring load and spring stress.

What this means to you, is the most feature packed valve spring on the market. Ovate wire forming, nitride heat treating, nano peened surface and an extreme cycle life. The Pro Gold spring from Wicked Diesels is the finest valve spring available for the Cummins 5.9 and 6.7 engines from 98.5 year model to current.

The Pro-Gold springs feature a backpressure rating of 93 psi, this is the amount boost or air pressure necessary to unseat the valve. Factory installed springs as well as aftermarket springs, will unseat the valves at much lower pressures. This inability to control valve action can lead to premature component failure, valve floating and a contaminated intake charge. These springs have been in testing for 2 years now, with zero pressure loss and no signs of wear. Coil bind is well over 0.550 valve lift
