The 918 Beehive valve springs from COMP cams (COMP Cams 26918-16 ) do work on the LT1 right? Do i have to change studs?

 

yes they work, what studs?

 

Yes they are compatible and work very well. You will need the retainers and other hardware to make them work. I run the 10 deg. locks with an installed height of around .050 over stock and have had no issues at all.

 

yea i have them on my 93 ta with comp seats and comp retainers awesome springs.

 

Get PAC springs

comp hardware is fine but I wouldn't run comp springs

 

yup i should have said that before, there **** is made in mexico now, i actually have the pac springs too, they are the same thing though

 

part number for the pacs are?

wait, isnt there a certain number on the 918's that is good for use? which are the bad ones and which are the good ones?

 

PAC 1218 or 1518 for the better ones.

 

+1...

 

yeah i pm'd herron for a price on em shipped to me. im in a rush to finish my motor so im getting all the little parts i can

 

i know its not the for sale fourum but i have a set of comp 928 beehove springs with 10 degree locks and retainers all new. installed but never run. i ended up going with a bigger cam than i thought. the 928 springs are the ones that replaced the 918 springs that were known to have problems. i would sell the whole set for 225 shipped.

 

I have the PAC springs as well. After everyone started talking about the bad 918's I'd rather just be on the side of caution and get the PAC's
