This question might sound overly simplified, but I was under the impression that the inline 6 gained a lot of its smoothness from a balanced valvetrain. Even accounting for a wilder camshaft, it would seem that if a valve is opening, another is closing and so it would seem irrelevant whether the spring seat pressure were in the 400s or even beyond.
Not to discount the importance of having a true roller timing chain at all, but is spring seat pressure the reason? I'm very interested in the thread as I may very likely follow in your footsteps. I'm just asking how valve spring pressure should impact stress on the timing chain.
