Cam swap question????
ok, so im finally going to do a cam swap on my C5 Z. I bought the G5X3 kit on a 112 lsa from LG. Been reading all about the cam swap for quite some time. I have one question though. the valve seals that come with the comp 921 springs, are a two peace set up, and the stock are one peace. i dont really get what keeps the seal from rideing up and down on the valve ,off the seat. what keeps it in place? it doesn"t seem to press on the seat, just slides right down on top of it. thanks for any advice.

They have to be pressed down onto the valve guide. In a pinch I have used deep well sockets that fit the outer edge of the seal, but if you are rough with it be prepaired to buy another set of valve seals. You need to be easy on them.
