Also, they are easy to change in the car. Get new viton valve seals that zzp sells too.
x2 on turbo being wrecked.
"yellow" LS6 springs and unknown retainers. I am going to swap over the blue LS6 springs, ZZP retainers and ZZP valve seals from my old motor. That should do it. I just pulled the parts from the old motor.

You have to use ls1 retainers with those springs on a stock motor. You might have to use modded ls1 retainers with those springs and the ST2 cam.

Yeah, I should be safe with what I had before. It only knocked on the bottom end... not the top! LOL Also, I ordered some Prosport gauges last night. All defi style (amber) & electric, Boost 30/30, oil pressure & volts. They also come with visors to reduce glare. Amazon has them way cheaper than ebay right now & direct from Prosport. I'll put installing them in the AUX location with a 3 gauge panel I have had forever.

This job sucks. I can tell you the installed height is vastly different between new and old.
Springs and retainers are the wrong ones for my ST2 cam. Guess what I get to do now.
