I am getting ready to install some patriot gold springs and I see the seals and bases are all the same. The stock seals/base are different between the intake and exhaust valve, but they are all the same on the patriots.... What is the deal?

 

remove and discard the orginal stock seals . . .


Use the spring base and the smaller seal. So it's black spring seat, then the vinton valve seal, then the spring, then the retainer, and then the locks.

 

seen a guy once use his stock seals and seats with patriots and ended up bending every pushrod..

 

I wasnt going to use the stock seals, I was just wondering why the stock ones had a different one for the exhaust then the intake where as the patriots use the same for both. Meaning if the stock ones are different sized from intake to exhaust why are the patriots not the same.

I know I have to use the patriot seats and seals, with it being a double spring the stock ones will not work.

 

coil bind ! . . . read up on it on ls1tech . . . it's not the outter spring

the inner spring will bind up, and pulling it's self out of the head
