    Vacuum Relief Compression Spring Calculation..spinning my wheels

    @BrianE22 Yeah, I found the spring rate after I dug a little deeper. It would be nice of it was one of the criteria to search by. After I was able to sleep on this question, I figured out what I needed to know. It took a few formulas to figure out I was going about it the wrong way...but trial...
