What kind of springs are on the ls6 heads?

cam, push rods, oil pump, oil pump O ring, timing chain, crank bolt, motor oil, oil filter, coolant, and pen magnets or the thunderracing.com lifter holding tool.

You might need water pump gaskets, front cover gasket, and front cover O ring.

You will need a 4" 3-jaw puller to remove the balancer and and a tool to press it back on. You can buy the installation tool, or you can easily make one out of M16 rod and some M16 nuts and washers.
