LS valvesprings
 

I'm getting my cams reground in my LS motor to about the same specs as the Crower 403's. I'm also going to get upgraded valvesprings but I'm wondering if I can use stock retainers.

Re: LS valvesprings (4drDA)
 

anyone? If I get Crower dual valvesprings will it be safe to use the stock retainers or should I replace them with upgraded retainers from Crower or another company?

You will be fine with the stock retainers. I have them w/ rocket valvesprings and 403's and have been perfectly fine for almost a year now. Many others run stock retainers with aftermarket cams as well https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

anyone else have opinion's on whether it's safe or not?

Most stock LS spring retainers, do not accept dual valve springs, just a single outer.

Stock retainers are fine.
I run stock retainers in my LS head w/crower springs and colt race cams.

Never heard of this before. Dual springs work fine with my stock retainers.

i didnt like how dual springs sat on my stock retainers... theres no second seat for them to sit on. i use single rocket springs and they would be fine for reginds, i use them on my crower 404's
