Yes, you'll have to replace everything - seats, seals, retainers, locks and springs. All of it comes with the patriot kit. It's not too bad, I used an air compressor to pressurize the cylinder which held the vavles in place - about 100psi. I have a valve spring compressor tool if you want to borrow it, although a donation would be nice too.

seriously! OMG! DUH! thats for all you guys that keep throwing off the wall crap up there.

Competition Cams- (918) behive valves springs, they are cheap, same size as stock springs and good up to .600'' lift

I would not push Z06 (that's actually a zero, not a letter O) to .550". Others will dispute but whatever. There is no more work swapping to Ti retainers and different locks and new seals during a spring swap so like Nike used to say JUST DO IT.

Replaced an LY6 intake spring today...collateral damage burned a hole in the TBSS type intake.

PRC dual extremes here... .660lift changing the seats and seals is a must and very easy...i highly recommend them. stay clear of 918s in my opinion

Same here. 918s had a bad batch and took out several tons of motors.

The ones that got my motor were the "new and improved" ones. Absolute junk in my opinion. I will never run another COMP product as long as I live thanks to the rude customer service I received from them
