LT4 valve spring retainers and keepers P/N?
I already have installed LT4 springs and now people are saying I need LT4 retainers and locks/keepers (same right?) what are the part numbers, and can I order them directly from GM? If so where, thanks.

Ok I found the part numbers I need for a kit of 16 valve retainers #12495492 and for 32 keys #12495503. I talked to one dealer and he wanted 44$ for the cap kit and 23 for the keys..wtf is tha a rip off or what? What kind of price should they be? Of course they are goign to have to order them so maby that has something to do w/ it.
UPDATE: Found a pontiac dealer**** that willl sell me the first p/n for 16.94 and the second for 8.79, sound goog?

Wholesale is $11.86 and $6.15, but if you ordered online somewhere, the total with shipping would probably be more than the local dealer.
