I've got the crane duals (simular to the Patriot Springs) on my Patriot heads. 4k miles on the factory lifters with this setup and not one bit of trouble, other than my new heavy *** foot

I'm using them with stock lifters and haven't had any problems. I've been running them for 700 miles or so.

I've ran the "gold" springs for about 10k miles with several cams and I'm using the stock lifters without a problem. Texas Speed can hook you up with a spring kit.

The stock lifters will be fine with the "GOLD" springs.

Are you saying there might be a problem with the Cranes that were sent to me with the heads? Or just emphasising the new Patriot Spring?

There will be no problems with the crane springs.The crane springs do not have as much pressure as the "GOLD" springs.
