Blue Stripe Beehive Springs
OK, I've done a search and can't find any specifics regarding the proper valve springs I should use for the LT1 motor I'm building. I have a friend that has a set of new Comp Cams springs with a blue stripe on them. (don't know their part number) I thought I once heard to stay away from the blue stripe springs (?) Anyone know why? If I should avoid these what springs should I buy. I have purchased a Comp Cams 503 cam and 1.6 Pro Mag rockers.

If you want to play it safe avoid blue stripe beehives like the plague, they may be the good ones or they might be the ones that break.
The new beehives dont have the strip I think.

No Summit and Jegs don't sell them... only dealers or straight thru PAC.
Long story short..... up till 2006 PAC (Petersen Spring) made all the springs for Comp Cams, including the 26918 beehive. From 2006 on is when Comp had problems with the 918 springs because they changed suppliers. They are the actual company that makes the springs, not just another company who retails them.

Maybe, give them a call.
Here's what the new 918's look like. My dad's going to run them in his LS1 car when he puts a cam in it.
