Yah... NO ... I'm pretty sure I have a firm grasp of it. Ever done work on motors with pneumatic and magnetic valve systems that have a 18-20k rpm range? I am sure I can bend my mind around push rods and the fuel injection they just started running.

To be honest back in the day for some of us old people. Might remember the local Kragens selling those lower kits. It was coil spring clamps. You could drop a full coil with them. I remember some kid in auto shop using them. This was late 80's

I drive my first car around for years with cut springs and never had a problem, until one day it veered into a tree.
