Default LS6 valve spring replacement question
Replacing the yellow springs with the new stock blue ones, pn 12499224 (set). About to order (along with seals). Will my original retainers fit these improved springs? Thanks.

Yes, just simply swap out springs and use original retaining hardware.

15k miles and replace the retainers? That simply isn't necessary.
