You also want to check for coil bind of the inner and outer springs. Easily done in the spring pressure checker, you just need to account for the step on the retainer that affects the height of the inner spring. I use a washer that is the same thickness as the retainer step.

I have the CVF Wraptor setup with a 140A one wire Alternator.
