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.

 

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

 

since ur already in there its just an added safety percaution.. better safe than sorry

 

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
