lt4 valve springs??

A. Where can you get them?

B. What else do I need to install them?

Did a search and didn't find anything.

You can pick up the springs at www.sdpc2000.com

You will need a valve spring compressor, something to hold the vavles closed (air tool), as well as the locks and retainers. A new set of valve seals might not be a bad idea as well. I think that's everything.

12495492 Valve Spring Cap Kit, LT4
This valve spring cap kit which includes 16 of P/N 10212808 caps, is used on all 5.7L LT4 engines. These are light weight caps to be used with valve spring kit P/N 12495494, and key kit P/N 12495503. _

from http://www.gmpartsdirect.com

I used the KD Tools spring compressor with the removeable handle.

You can remove the springs without pressurizing the cylinder if you bring the piston to tdc.

Thanks for the help though.

The stock retainer and locks will work with the lt4 springs. The whole set of springs is like $38 @ paceparts
