I think comp may have changed some of their beehive spring part numbers.

Get the 918's with 10 degree +.050" locks and retainers and the comp locators as well.

Can't remember the exact differences, but I think the 918's have higher spring rates.

What he said. You won't be disappointed. 918's rule.

Hey,

What is meant when the a +.50 valve lock ?

+.050" lock

It raises the installed height by .05".

On stock valves you almost have to run the +.050" locks.
