Being that it's still a stock cam, Comp makes a nice beehive that fits in the stock spring pockets. PN is 26981-16. Match it with the comp retainer.

Re: which valve springs

Do you rate the beehive springs. Was only reading something in a mag last month that there good but don't keep the strength as long as a normal spring and need to be changed more often. Great for rave teams changing them all the time.

As I said just something I was reading in one of my car mags. Open to all the advice I can get.

Thanks
