Hi, Does anyone know what valve spring pressures @ what height the Engle 110 is supposed to have with the single spring vs the double spring? Ive been looking but I can't find it anywhere and its not with the cam specs either....Weird...

For a W-110 don't overthink it.

Single carb - HD single springs.
Dual carbs - dual springs.

I run HD singles on my 110s. That cam is all in at pretty low rpm, no need for duals. I also use stock pushrods and 1.25 rockers with the same cam and springs

Thank you all for the info. I am coming from the Ford V8 world so its natural for me to want to check the spring specs to know what RPM the valves will float at with the specified cam and what the cam requires in spring specs. Just having to guess on a hunch where to set a rev limiter so to not to over rev, even though its not a racecar, I will be having some fun here and there. I understand most everyone trusts the HD or Double spring titles but without the specs how do you know anything about how the motor will perform? a slightly bit stiffer spring by 15–25-pound open will make a motor feel very crisp where as a spring at a loss of 15-25 pounds will make the same motor lay over earlier or feel sluggish or float earlier or later in the rpm range. I will keep looking for some spring specs online and post if I find anything thats usefull. Thank you again everyone for the information, its very helpfull
