Default Help

I bought I set of cnc 243s that have the vale spring seats machined for dual springs. I have already installed PAC 1518s and have been running the car for a few days now. I have a little valve train noise but nothing crazy. Is this bad? Should I change to a dual spring?

As long as your installed spring height and pressure is right you should be fine. What lifters and preload are you running?

go to ls1howto.com and read about installing rockers and setting preload.

It's pretty easy, but long to explain... like Gary said they explain it pretty good
