hey guys i got some heads off of ebay last week that have been ported,polished and have a three angle vavle job but anyway i was wondering if anybody knows what kind of valve springs i can get or if anybody had any that can give me a part number because i looked at jegs and summit on their web site and they only had them listed for the v8's and the heads i got dont have them something like crane or comp cams im also putting the comp cams magnum rockers on them too before i put them on my car. help me out !!

 

I have been told to use 105lbs springs if you plan to run a cam or roller rockers in the future...

 

Well.... uh..... like I've said a million times before, they don't list V8 parts in the catalog, which means they won't be listed on the website. So.... grab the phone.... and try calling them instead. No, wait, call Summit, forget Jegs. 800-230-3030, you want parts information, I think that's option #2.

If you're scared to call, you can visit Comp Cams and Crane and every other manufacturer you want on the internet. Download their online catalogs, find the part #. Then go to summit's website and do a parts lookup to get a price. This is the same thing that Summit (or the Jerks at Jegs) will do when you call, except they'll have a paper catalog.

 

Jegs techs (at least the one I got) are very ignorant.

Me: I'm looking at your catback exhausts and notice my car is not listed

Jegs: What kind of car ?

Me: 1991 Camaro RS V6

Jegs: Oh, no one makes any exhausts for the V6.

Dumb Question #4,928 -
What are the chances of finding V8 springs that would work in a V6 - as n same hight/diam. in the Lb range you are looking for?

 

They might be very good. Seems like the only difference between a 1.52 rocker kit for our car, and a 1.52 kit for a v8, is the rocker nuts included in the kit. (Oh yeah, and a v8 gets 4 extra rockers. ) Our studs are 10mm metric threads, the v8 studs are 3/8" standard threads. 'Fact, a guy on here... shoot, what's his name... he's worked up a 2.8 in his S10 pickup- he used v8 rocker arms on his 2.8 heads.

Try calling compcams.com or another one of those valvespring companies. Chances are, they already know, and the springs you're buying in a "v6 box" might be the exact same as the ones in a "v8 box", just with different part #s.
