I bought a 01 Z06 cam, spring and pushrods. I've seen people talk about yellow or blue paint on the springs but the springs i got have a maroon paint strip on them. I didn't pay much for the set but i was hoping i wouldn't have to purchase aftermarket springs. do i actually have the correct springs?

 

If they springs are not blue or red you got hosed.

 

Maroon is a kind of red.

 

Lol I meant if the springs are not blue or yellow.

 

can't find anything... sorry

 

Nope, they are just black with a maroon strip...... well dang, i guess ill have the springs checked to see what i do have and go from there.

 

Just have the springs tested and go from there like you said.

The springs you have are possibly a crane beehive spring.

 

thanks for the help guys.....

 

If they are off of an 01 Z06 it won't matter. The cam does not have enough lift to damage factory springs. The 02-04 LS6 cam has a taller lift and they require different springs.

 

thanks
