My buddies C6Z had a spring failure from TSP. I think TSP has some good stuff to offer but i think the springs arent the most solid setup from them. I would HOPE TSP covers all the costs for u man, if they do then thats a good sign of a stand up company.

UPDATE:
Minor damage on the piston - repairable.
TSP asked us to send the heads back for examination and replacement. They also offered to install better valve springs if necessary. My builder wants to have PAC 1521 springs installed. I do not want the same springs installed.
I'm very happy with their offer to assist. If they could include head studs & gaskets, then I'd only be out labor from my local shop. What would be reasonable to expect?

My redline was set to a conservative 6300 on my LS1 at the time and the springs failed.
Any cams I do in the future will be with PAC springs for sure.
