What springs with Crane 2032?

The recommended springs are part no. 98602. They cost $160, and that's ONLY for the springs. I called Summit and the guy reccomended this kit. I'm just looking for a drop in replacement, without having to play with shims or spring pockets.

That should work.

What brand is the 98602? I cant find info

Edit, you mean crane 96802? Similar seat pressure at higher height but they have higher spring rate i like on hydraulic rollers. That cam is mild enough it should be ok with what you have in the summit kit

I'm dropping a 2032 into my LO3 this winter and looking at this kit as well. Have you completed the install?

Re: What springs with Crane 2032?

Do you need seals, locks and retainers too like that kit has? Or do you just need the springs?

Either one of these will work, both $30. I have used Howards springs for 10 years. In fact have used these 2 on many diff engines over that 10 year span.

Here's the correct links

Here's the common umbrella seals $3 http://www.competitionproducts.com/V.../#.VFchsvnF9QE

PC type seals $16 http://www.competitionproducts.com/P.../#.VFch6fnF9QE

Both links take you to default page. In my case, I definitely need new seals, however, will take a look for these to compare specs.
