Default Quick PRC dual spring question

Bought a set reasonably cheap but didn't come with valve locks. Can I use my stock valve spring locks with the PRC's???

FWIW, the spring kits don't come with locks even if you buy them new.

I would suggest replacing the locks, they are very cheap, and the stock GM ones are fine. You'll want to order 32 of them, as they are literally sold individually (.each half is 1pc).

Thanks for the 411. Maybe I'll just pick up a good set of stockers of summitracing. They have some good sets for under $25
