Claude,
Hope all is well!
We have multiple customers doing similar enduro or circle track racing with the 8V 900 and we typically do not see issues with the OEM followers. Depending on your engine RPM, an old valve spring could see substantial float which puts a great deal of force at the follower. Excessive lash could be another potential culprit and you will want to check all clearances.
We have engines up to 8K engine RPM under short durations using dual valve springs in conjunction with our camshafts but proper lash is critical for valvetrain longevity.
Can you tell us what camshaft, valve springs and engine rpm you're working with?
Best Regards,
Mark Fagan at SWEDISH DYNAMICS,INC.
