PRC 650 spring kit - no locks?
I just got my cam Texas Speed cam kit, everything looks good but the PRC 650 spring kit doesn't have any locks with it.
Is it supposed to come with the new valve locks or are the originals OK to use?
From this example, I guess it doesn't?

Those are dual springs and the stockers are beehive. Stock retainers won't fit. I believe retainers come with the kit. I would just contact TSP in the morning I am sure they will take care of things.

Ah crap - sorry. I meant valve locks. The locks for the retainers is what I meant.

Thanks, I called Texas Speed as soon as it came and they were closed.
I kind of figured that they could be reused.

You can re-use stock but I prefer the machined locks that are stronger.

No problem. They have been on for a couple of years.
