I bought my cam kit this past week from Texas Speed. I got the cam kit with the PRC gold springs and titanium retainers, seats and seals. My question is, do I have to install the new seals? Also, if the new seals weren't replaced during the cam swap would I run into any problems and how hard is it to replace the new valve seals?

 

youll be fine with your current seals.

 

How hard is it to change the valve seals?

 

When you replace the seals, the hardest part of the job is removing the springs. Since you will be replacing the springs anyway, go ahead and put the new seals in while you are at it. Very easy job with the springs off.

Also, there was a thread about Patriot springs breaking, and when he checked with the factory for a recommendation to solve the problem, they asked if he put on the new seals, and he had not. He replaced the seals and had no more springs breaking. I fail to see the connection between seals and broken springs, but Patriot feels strongly about it, and at least one user backs them up on it.

Put the new seals in.
