it is VERY difficult (if not impossible) for them to remedy any problems there might be with a spring by reading about it on the internet! So please, call CompCams at 800.999.0853 (that's their toll free tech line), and tell them you've got broken spring(s) and want to know what to do with them! Their customer service is second to none and they want to speak to you! Again, the only way they can fix a problem that might exist is to deal directly with the customer with the springs!!!

Hmmm nice find... I'll have to check into that since I have a used set of 918's in a box waiting to be installed.

Just found some additional info on this...http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3272880

Just checked my new heads that came in yesterday ant that's what they have.

Glad I checked. I was going to order the crane springs but I think I will go ahead and use these.

Will they send you some, so you can take yours off and send them back? Its my daily driver and I can't have it down, then I can't get to work.

Anybody got a number? I just pulled mine off and one was broke. This was only after 17k miles on a .551 lift too. Very unhappy with that.

There are several bad batch no.'s from what I have read and they are supposedly replacing all of them upon request. I read they are sending them out next day air with a return shipping label included to send the old ones back within 20 days.
