Default Valve spring question
I bought a set of GM valve springs part # 12625033. Are these a direct replacement for the ones on my 98 Corvette? Can I use the same retainers and keepers? Can't find anything on it any where. Just want to make sure before I tear it apart.

Thank Kirt

Those are the newer LS6 springs. Would be an upgrade for stock cam. Your retainers and locks will be okay.

Why would you want to use the old valve seals?
