so i pull out the box of 918's yesterday that was suposed to have brand new stock springs in it...i notice a blue stripe on all of them and thought i remembered 918's were suposed to have a blue stripe???


do stock springs have a stripe??? if so what color? tell me i didnt remove the 918's from my heads and install the stockers!

 

I have a set of brand new 5.3 heads at home I'm getting ready to sell on Ebay and need to get them out to take pics anyway. I'll check for ya... PM me if I forget and nobody else chimes in...

 

Nope stock ones don't have blue stripes on them stewbi. wtf were you thinking?

 

I think Comp 918's have the blue stripe.

 

HAHA good thing i didnt sell these 918's thinkin they were stock

the springs got mixxed up because whoever my buddy bought the crate lq9 from already put the 918 springs in the motor and put the stockers in the 918 box, so when we were putting the LQ9 into the cammaro and stripped down the 317 heads i figured i was pulling the stock springs out so i just threw them in a ziplock.

for those who dont know i bought my motor and 918 springs together but the heads on 2 motors had to come apart and the springs got mixxed up at that point.

here i was thinkin i had the hardest part of a cam swap already done i suck at life

 

Damn stewbi wtf ahhahaa j/k man thats sux, oh well get to work.

 

ill do it if i ever get a cam. stock springs are fine for now. i cant beleave whoever sold the crate motor put the springs in it already. maybe ill pull a valve covor and see if maybe i got 2 sets of 918's outa the deal. that would be cool lol.

 

the stockers have an orange stripe, and they're a shorter spring

 

i called beau and he happened to have his old stockers sittin there and they had no markings at all. imna go pull that cover right quick.

 

thats what I would do, pull the valve cover and see, nothing better to do then watch it rain ahhahaa
