Vortec heads with LS6 spings "and" retainers? Building a budget TPI motor with LT4 hot cam and Vortec heads. I know its common to use the LS6 spring but everyone says to use the Comp retainers. Is there any reason I can't use the LS6 retainers I already have them and free is a lot better than $75.00 if I can use them. |

Comp 787 is what you want for a standard SBC Vortec head with LS6 springs. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...475f943b8a.jpg |
Re: Vortec heads with LS6 spings "and" retainers? You could also consider LT4 springs, 10° locks, and titanium retainers. Under a Benji for the whole lot: 12495494 https://www.gmperformancemotor.com/parts/12495494.html 12495492 https://www.gmpartsgiant.com/parts/g...-12495492.html 12495503 https://www.gmperformancemotor.com/parts/12495503.html |
Re: Vortec heads with LS6 spings "and" retainers? LS valve stems are 8mm (about .3149"); SBC are 11/32" (.34375") Gotta use retainers that have the LS spring outer dia but fit your stems. Which is, Comp 787. There may be others but that's the one I know of offhand. There are no stock ones with the right combo of dimensions, obviously. |
