Valve train upgrade
Hi again Guys,
I'm in the process of installing the Crane 1.8 Roller rockers, and before I finish I was wondering if I should also upgrade the springs.
The Crane kit already comes with hardened pushrods, but I'm not sure if the increased arm ratio might be too much for the stock LS1 springs.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: Valve train upgrade (hightest)
A number of people have had trouble with the stock springs. A friend of mine missed a shift and over reved his LS1. He broke one spring. Replaced them all and when you line them up and put a straight edge across the top, non of them were the same height. I think the springs are one of the weakest links in the LS1.
