What valve springs are these? So I'm changing out my pushrods today and notice this. These 2 marks are on ALL of the valve springs on the driver's side....haven't made it to the passenger side yet. Opinions?

Stock LS1 springs.
You seem to be pointing to the rockers. Looks like a clean, rough section on the top there. But most of the stock valve springs have a paint mark on them. That may be what you are seeing.

I was just trying to point out which valve spring shows the mark the best, didn't really know how the pics would turn out on my cell. Just trying to make sure they are not LS6 springs because I don't know what the previous owner did to the car.

^ LS6 springs are yellow. I had a set of yellows, but I'm not sure if ALL of them are yellow. I think the only TRUE way to tell would be to mic a coil. Not sure if there are measurements for the springs floating around.. (no pun.. ha...)
